HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 c210W
106. Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyre

asked the Minister of Food why it is his policy to restrict the price of home-grown leeks to 26s. 3d. per cwt., wholesale, whilst imported leeks may be sold at 74s. 8d. per cwt.

Mr. Strachey

I am making an Order temporarily suspending control of prices of home grown leeks thereby placing them in the same position as imported supplies.
