HC Deb 26 June 1941 vol 372 cc1117-8W
Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that the departure from the system of differential prices for different grades of fruit and vegetables has aroused much disquiet; and whether he will modify price lists to prevent the mixture of indifferent produce with good to the possible spoiling of the latter?

Major Lloyd George

Nothing has been done by my Department to prevent fruit and vegetable growers from grading their produce for the market. It would not be practicable, however, to introduce differential prices for different grades of fruit and vegetables into Maximum Prices Orders.
