§ Colonel Crosthwaite-Eyreasked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that imported vegetables and soft fruits are packed in non-returnable crates with adequate paper wrapping, whilst home growers have still to be content with heavy returnable packages without any paper for wrapping; and if he will ensure, in future, that equally good facilities for packing are made available to home growers.
274W
§ Mr. StracheyI regret that I cannot promise any immediate improvement in packing materials for home producers, nor allow the use of non-returnable containers, so long as supplies of paper a ad soft wood remain as scarce as they are at present.
