HC Deb 29 April 1941 vol 371 c359W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what is the c.i.f. cost of orange and grapefruit pulp purchased by the Ministry from Jamaica, including the Ministry's administration expenses; and at what price such produce has been or will be sold to manufacturers in this country?

Major Lloyd George

I do not consider that it would be in the public interest to disclose such particulars of the trading transactions of the Ministry of Food. I regret, therefore, that I am unable to supply my hon. Friend with this information.
