HC Deb 20 March 1945 vol 409 c664W
Mr. R. Duckworth

asked the Minister of Food what is the estimated extent of the waste in the distribution of bitter oranges from Spain.

Colonel Llewellin

The quantity of bitter oranges available for distribution to the public is small. I am satisfied that there is a good demand for these oranges and have received no evidence of any appreciable waste. Every effort is being made to avoid waste.
