HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 c44W
59. Mrs. Mann

asked the Minister of Food whether shopkeepers are now permitted to sell bananas freely to the general public.

Mr. Strachey

No. Bananas at present may only be sold to the under 18's and to expectant mothers. But as announced on Monday, 14th June, in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Epping (Mrs. Manning) we are making arrangements to give a share also to people over 70.
