HC Deb 25 July 1944 vol 402 c604W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Minister of Food whether, for future guidance, he will at the end of the autumn examine the reasons which have in the current spring and summer placed urban residents at a disadvantage in respect of the supply of most vegetables and fruit.

Colonel Llewellin

Arrangements already exist for the regular collection and study of information respecting the supply and distribution of vegetables and fruit. This information does not support the view that urban residents have suffered avoidable disadvantages this season. The fruit crops are, of course, smaller than in previous years.
