HC Deb 05 October 1939 vol 351 cc2112-3W
Mr. T. Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware of the serious position of beekeepers throughout the country owing to their inability to obtain supplies of sugar; that the loss of large numbers of bees would imperil our fruit crops next year; and, in these circumstances, will he instruct the sugar controller in each area to arrange for sugar supplies through the various bee-keepers' organisations?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Arrangements have been in force for some time whereby bee-keepers applying to the local Food Control Committee through their appropriate organisations can secure supplies of sugar without delay.
