HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 cc198-9W
51. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Food when he anticipates being able to resume the importation of olive oil for culinary purposes.

Mr. Strachey

Much as I should like to import olive oil for culinary use, the present prospects of securing it in sufficient qualities for this purpose are poor. Supplies in many of the producing countries are insufficient for local needs.
