§ Mr. Kingasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that bananas, cherries and oranges were delivered to eight small 297W Soviet minesweepers in the port of Fal-mouth recently; what are the arrangements for fruit delivered to visiting ships; whether reciprocal arrangements apply to British ships visiting the U.S.S.R.; and whether he is satisfied that the delivery in this particular case was not excessive.
§ Mr. StracheyI am inquiring into these matters and will write to my hon. Friend as soon as practicable.
