HC Deb 21 January 1948 vol 446 cc30-1W
70. Mr. Baker White

asked the Minister of Food what steps are being taken by his Department to encourage exports of high grade British fruit and particularly apples.

Dr. Summerskill

The demand in this country for home grown high grade fruit, particularly apples, is still far from satisfied. Until there are signs of the demand being met, my right hon. Friend would not feel justified in encouraging exports.
