HC Deb 18 October 1944 vol 403 c2402W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Minister of Food if he satisfied himself that there were no available home supplies of sage, thyme or marjoram before he caused orders to be placed for shipment from Cyprus, Spain and Portugal; and if he will investigate the possibilities of those herbs being grown in this country.

Colonel Llewellyn

It was only because home supplies were inadequate that orders were placed abroad. I should be glad to see a larger home production of these products in such condition as to be marketable.
