HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 c137W
137. Mr. Beechman

asked the Minister of Food what steps are being taken to remedy the shortage of suitable crates for home-grown vegetables.

Dr. Summerskill

The utmost economy in the use of timber is still unfortunately necessary. I am not aware of any specific shortage of crates for home-grown vegetables, but if the hon. Member will let me have particulars of any case he has in mind I will gladly look into it.
