§ 101. Mr. Odeyasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that, on account of the importation of 10,000 Danish carrots, Mr. Charles Wilkinson, Field House, Everingham, a carrot grower, has been quite unable to sell his carrot crop of 200 tons and that, as a result, these carrots have now been condemned as only suitable for animal consumption and what compensation he proposes to pay Mr. Wilkinson.
§ Mr. StracheyI offered to buy these carrots at the guaranteed price from Mr. Wilkinson at the end of December, but he preferred not to sell. Their subsequent deterioration was due to the effects of frost and no compensation is payable.
