§ Sir R. Gowerasked the Secretary of State for War whether arrangements have been made by barracks, and other establishments where permanent messes are in existence, to utilise any part, directly or indirectly, of the surplus plum crop for jam making or preserving in any form?
§ Mr. EdenArrangements have been made that the plum crop will be used exclusively for jam supplies for the quantity required by the Royal Army Service Corps. Orders have also been placed for tinned plums for Royal Army Service Corps issues. I am informed that the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes are also placing orders for plum jam and for plums preserved in light syrup.
