HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 cc371-2W
88. Mr. P. Thorneycroft

asked the Minister of Food, in view of the forthcoming conference of the International Union of Railways, at which modernised refrigerated transport will be discussed, what steps have been taken by his Department to ensure that the most modern systems of food storage and transport are employed.

Mr. Strachey

During the war years my Department arranged for the erection of 15 million cubic feet of cold storage space all of which is supplied with modern equipment. The supply of refrigerated transport is a matter for the Ministry of Transport. There is close contact between the respective Departments on the questions.
