§ Mr. Stokesasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that there will be 40,000 tons of tomatoes in the Canary Islands available for shipment to this country between now and the end of April; that the importers are willing to ship them at their own risk; and why his Department has not arranged for the necessary permits to be granted.
Sir B. Smith: I would refer my hon. Friend to the replies given to the hon. Members for Rushcliffe (Mrs. Paton), Reigate (Mr. Touche), and North St. Pancras (Mr. House) on 13th February.
