HC Deb 26 November 1947 vol 444 c284W
73. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Food if he will give an undertaking that no more of this year's potato crop will be exported.

Mr. Strachey

Yes—with the exception of potatoes for the Services, the civilian population in Gibraltar and about one-tenth of our 1945–46 exports of seed for meeting contracts.
