§ Mr. Purbrickasked the Minister of Food whether he will arrange for small stocks of bananas to be in the hands of medical authorities available for the use of children suffering from cœliac disease, as this is the only known recognised possible cure.
§ Mr. MabaneYes, Sir. As bananas form a useful addition to the diet of children suffering from cœliac disease, arrangements are being made by my right hon. Friend which he hopes will result in enough bananas being imported in dried form to provide all approved cases of cœliac disease with the supplies they need.
