115. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Minister of Food what arrangements he has made for the purchase of canned fruit from the West Indies; what was the value of such imports in 1949; and what increase is anticipated for 1950.

Mr. Webb

No arrangements have yet been made for the purchase of canned fruit from the West Indies by my Department but discussions are now taking place. None was purchased in 1949.
