Mr. R. Duckworthasked the Minister of Food why, as he is importing grapefruit, which is less popular than bananas, consignments of the latter product cannot now be arranged.
§ Colonel LlewellinI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies on 1st November to the hon. and learned Member for Ilford (Mr. G. Hutchinson) and the transport difficulties that prevent the import of bananas do not apply to grapefruit from the Mediterranean.
