HC Deb 12 February 1951 vol 484 c5W
70. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Food what arrangements he is making to prevent a shortage of canned foods owing to the lack of tinplate in the canning factories.

Mr. F. Willey

The general position will remain difficult until the production of tinplate increases, but I am glad to say that more tinplate will be available for home canning in the second quarter of the year than we had anticipated.
