§ Captain Bullockasked the Under-Secretary of State for India whether, in connection with the ban on parcels being sent from India, he will lift the ban on tinned fruit in view of the fact that there is no shortage of this commodity in India.
§ Mr. A. Henderson:Though there may be no shortage of tinned fruit in India for normal needs, the Government of India consider it inadvisable to allow any exports of it when there is a shortage of cereals which can be mitigated, to some extent at least, by increasing the available supply of such supplementary foodstuffs.
