Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food whether he is now in a position to make an immediate declaration of the policy of the Government on the subject of the reintroduction of imports of vegetables and give an assurance that no order restricting trade by licence will be maintained and that the fixing of maximum prices for produce shall be amended.
§ Colonel LlewellinThe answer to the first and second parts of the Question is "No, Sir," but the earliest possible notification will be given when any change of policy regarding imports of vegetables or the licensing of traders is contemplated. If my hon. Friend will indicate what amendments he has in mind in the fixing of maximum prices, I shall be glad to consider them.
