§ Sir Richard BodyTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will raise with his French counterpart the question of compensation for Mr. Russell Temple for the destruction of a quantity of Spanish strawberries near Bordeaux while en route to England.
§ Mr. Garel-JonesI have been asked to reply.
Her Majesty's embassy in Paris has already protested to the French authorities about the destruction of a consignment of strawberries which one of Mr. Temple's lorries was carrying near Bordeaux; they agree that he has a strong case for compensation. We shall be in touch with Mr. Temple.
