HC Deb 21 July 1943 vol 391 c920W
Mr. Boothby

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what is the cause of the delay in distributing the Algerian wine recently imported into this country?

Mr. Mabane

Since the scheme designed to ensure equitable distribution was agreed with the trade, there has been no delay in releasing the small quantity of wine available. More than three quarters of the first allocation has already been released to the first hand distributors.
