Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Food how much tinned food imported by his Department is lying in warehouses because it is unsaleable owing to its inferior quality; and. if he will take steps to see that his Department does not pay prices below those necessary to obtain products of good quality.

Mr. Strachey

None. All purchases of tinned food made by the Ministry are subject to guarantees of quality.
