HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 cc25-6W
76. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Minister of Food if transport can now be provided for the import of larger supplies of oranges which would supply the necessary vitamins to those people suffering from the lack of sunshine this summer.

Mr. Strachey

I am importing all the oranges that I am able to purchase and I am assured that all the necessary trans- port will be available. I expect to be able to distribute 50 per cent. more than last winter.
