HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c51W
63. Major Lloyd

asked the Minister of Food why his regulations only allow Canadian producers of canned foodstuffs, who have for many years had organisations in this country and used to import large quantities to market token shipments in the United Kingdom; and whether he is aware of the resentment caused in Canada by this action.

Mr. Strachey

I think it is generally appreciated in Canada that we cannot afford to spend dollars on canned foods outside the token import arrangements.
