HC Deb 23 September 1943 vol 392 cc433-4W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that the shortage of containers to carry apples to the markets may result in a heavy wastage of fruit; and if his department can do anything to meet this position?

Mr. Mabane

I am not aware of any general shortage of containers such as would prevent the marketing of apples. If the hon. Member is aware of a particular case of difficulty, I should be glad to have particulars of it.
