HC Deb 30 October 1946 vol 428 cc97-8W
Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Food whether he has been successful in obtaining larger supplies of soya beans and flour, in view of the great demand and its concentrated dietetic value.

Mr. Strachey

I am endeavouring to obtain increased supplies of soya beans for the production of soya flour but so far with disappointing results. Although the U.S.A. is still virtually the only source of supply, the possibility of obtaining supplies from other sources is being pursued.
