HC Deb 29 May 1946 vol 423 c189W
66. Mr. P. Thorneycroft

asked the Minister of Food whether he will take steps to release materials for containers for agricultural produce so that British farmers can market their produce in a manner comparable to imported foodstuffs.

Mr. Strachey

We cannot do much to improve our containers for agricultural produce until more soft woods are available. But I do realise the importance of attractive packing.
