HC Deb 09 December 1946 vol 431 c172W
93. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Minister of Food what amount of biscuits was exported to Canada, Bovril to Australia and rationed foods to South Africa during 1946.

Dr. Summerskill

Exports from the United Kingdom during the 10 months January to October, 1946, included 1,591 hundredweights of biscuits for human consumption to Canada and 890 hundredweights of extracts and essences of beef or veal (including Bovril) to Australia. Particulars for Bovril alone are not available. It is not possible to state the quantity of rationed foods exported to South Africa, but it is small.
