HC Deb 29 January 1947 vol 432 c198W
70. Bri£adier Rayner

asked the Minister of Food what price his Department offers for coconut oil in Malaya; and whether this price is a competitive price or one determined by the ability to be the sole buyer because of any ban on coconut-oil exports.

Mr. Strachey

Discussions are proceeding with the Malayan Government at present on the subject of coconut oil prices. The United Kingdom is not the sole buyer of Malayan copra and coconut oil.
