HC Deb 30 July 1946 vol 426 c125W
59. Lieut.-Commander Joynson-Hicks

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much foreign exchange has been spent in the importation this year of fresh fruit and vegetables from the Continent; and what proportion of this figure is represented by the cost of the containers and packing which have been exported from this country.

Mr. Dalton

About £5¼ million in the first six months. The second part of the Question should be addressed to my hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade.
