HC Deb 12 May 1944 vol 399 c2192W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Minister of Food whether, in connection with the forthcoming soft fruit prices for this season and having regard to the rise in the cost of production, he will consider agreeing to an increase over last year's prices of 2d. per lb. to the grower for raspberries and cultivated blackberries.

Colonel Llewellin

No, Sir. An Order has been made and will become operative on 16th May, fixing the price of raspberries at 74s. 8d. per cwt. and cultivated blackberries at 51s. 4d. per cwt.
