HC Deb 16 May 1918 vol 106 c551W
Major HILLS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether China tea can now be bought; and, if not, why those who desire this beverage are precluded from obtaining it?

Mr. CLYNES

Very little good China tea remains in the United Kingdom. The Ministry of Food is purchasing a certain quantity in China, but the tonnage available for its transport is very small. When the purchases arrive moderate supplies will be made available.
