HC Deb 29 July 1946 vol 426 c114W
Lieut.-Commander

Hutchison asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that a large consignment of pigs' intestines, suitable for the extraction of edible fat, was recently available in Denmark for export to the United Kingdom at a price of about 4½d. per pound; and why he has not taken stops to secure supplies of this commodity from Denmark.

Mr. Strachey

I am not able to identify by whom and to whom these particular supplies were offered but I shall be glad to look into the matter again if the hon. Member will let me have more precise details.
