HC Deb 07 November 1944 vol 404 c1278W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Minister of Food whether he has taken steps to arrange future contracts with growers for home supplies of sage, thyme and marjoram.

Colonel Llewellin

The Ministry of Food does not itself purchase herbs, whether home produced or imported. Wholesalers of herbs and manufacturers who use them in their products will no doubt continue to make contracts with growers themselves, as has been their custom in the past.
