HC Deb 08 July 1953 vol 517 c93W
70. Mr. F. Maclean

asked the Minister of Food what expenses have so far been incurred in connection with the storage of 500,000 gallons of adulterated orange juice concentrate purchased in error by his Department.

Major Lloyd George

About £70,000. It is not correct to describe the vendor's failure to comply with conditions of contract as a Departmental error.
