Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food whether he will give an assurance that imported bulb onions will not be allowed to affect the sale of English grown onions; and whether he will consider allowing a longer period for the English crops to be disposed of before the imported onions are put on sale.
§ Colonel LlewellinThe import of onions recommenced on a small scale this winter and further imports may be expected from December, 1944. Onions brought from abroad will continue for the present to be imported by the Ministry of Food, who do not intend, however, that they shall compete with the home grown crop either as regards price or period of marketing.
