HC Deb 27 February 1946 vol 419 c387W
Mr. Chamberlain

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that the 30,000 tons of Canary Island tomatoes, about the importation of which he has been unable to make a decision, are now in danger of deterioration; and whether he will make a statement in reference to the dispute among importers, which is denying the British housewife these tomatoes.

Sir B. Smith

I am now in a position to re-issue the licences for importing Canary Island tomatoes.
