HC Deb 08 November 1948 vol 457 c147W
12. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Food whether he is now able to provide that bananas shall be available to adults below the age of 70 years.

Mr. Strachey

Next year for the first time since the war we hope to import over half the pre-war quantities of bananas, so I am afraid it is impossible to extend their distribution as yet.
