HC Deb 09 March 1950 vol 472 c8W
58. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is satisfied that the new arrangements proposed for the control of imports of foreign tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits will, this season, ensure that first place in the British market is reserved for home-growers during the period of peak production.

Mr. T. Williams

The arrangements set out in the announcement of 12th February, 1950, for periods of suspension of the open general licence for the importation of various fruits and vegetables have been made after taking fully into account the position of the home growers, and I am satisfied that they should assist the marketing of home produce of good quality during the main seasons of production.
