HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 cc430-1W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will arrange for a supply of sugar to be made available at once to jam makers so that the present stock of plum pulp can be used up before the next plum crop is ready and so make containers available for the present crop?

Mr. Boothby

The issue of an additional supply of sugar to jam manufacturers for preservation of the plum crop is being considered. It is understood that no difficulty in regard to containers is likely to arise.
