HC Deb 10 December 1947 vol 445 c196W
60. Mr. Watkins

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that barrow boys in London are selling cooking apples called "Newton Wonders" as "Cox's Orange Pippins" at as much as 1s. 6d. per pound; and if he will take steps to prevent this.

Dr. Summerskill

Home-grown apples are not now subject to price-control, but if a misrepresentation is made it should be reported to the local food and drugs authority.
