§ 65. Mr. Watkinsasked the Minister of Food how much of the tomatoes recently imported into this country was allocated to Wales.
§ Sir B. Smith:During the next two months the quantity of imported tomatoes will be small in relation to the total population. None of the tomatoes hitherto imported has been allocated to Wales, but I hope that it may be possible to make a first allocation to parts of Wales in the near future.
§ 67. Mr. Chamberlainasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that importers of Canary tomatoes are offering 25 to 27 pesetos f.o.b. without wastage clause, as compared with the price, approved by him, of 20 pesetos, with wastage clause; and what action he proposes to take in the matter.
§ Sir B. Smith:The relevant Order merely prescribes the import sale price of the tomatoes. The prices paid in the Canary Islands are beyond my control and I see no reason to take any action in the matter.
