HC Deb 23 October 1946 vol 427 c371W
83. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that there is a shortage of dried fruits in Leicester; and what steps he will take to improve the situation.

Mr. Strachey

The shortage, I am afraid, is not confined to Leicester notwithstanding that total supplies are equal to or above the prewar level; this is another commodity for which demand is much in excess of what it used to be.
