Olive Oil and Lemons

HC Deb 18 October 1946 vol 427 cc266-7W

Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Food whether in view of his ability to permit peaches and melons to be imported in substantial quantities from Mediterranean countries, arrangements will be made to import olive oil and lemons in addition from those countries.

Mr. Strachey

Arrangements for the import of lemons from Mediterranean countries during the coming season are already in hand, and I shall continue my efforts to secure additional supplies of olive oil.
