HC Deb 25 November 1946 vol 430 cc225-6W
133. Mr. S. Marshall

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what becomes of the parcels of food sent from abroad to people in this country which are confiscated.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

They are disposed of to approved charitable organisations unless the goods are perishable, in which case they are handed over to the Ministry of Food in order to avoid waste.
