HC Deb 07 December 1937 vol 330 c219W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, with a view to assisting the plum growers of this country and persuading canners to pack plums, the Government will assist them in the Home market by making a 20 per cent. cut in the imports of peaches and apricots, the two nearest competing imported canned fruits?

Mr. Stanley

I have no power to regulate the imports of these fruits.
