HC Deb 21 July 1943 vol 391 c919W
Mr. Price

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the large plum crop expected in some districts, a modification can be made in the road delivery radius to enable plum crops, where they are plentiful, to be sent by road for a longer distance than would be possible at present?

Mr. Mabane

Any modification of the restrictions on the transport of plums by road will be made if circumstances arise which make such modification necessary to prevent waste of fruit. Licences necessary in this connection will be issued by my Department in consultation with the Ministry of War Transport as in 1942.
