HC Deb 15 November 1948 vol 458 c7W
88. Mr. Skinnard

asked the Minister of Food whether it is intended to extend the importation of honey from Jamaica following trial shipments of honey in tins during the year; and whether he will receive a representative of the Jamaican Bee Farmers' Association.

Dr. Summerskill

Two licences have already been issued for the importation of Jamaican honey in tins of about 60 lb. capacity. If the trade want to import more in that type of pack we shall raise no objections. If there are other matters which the representative of the Jamaican Bee Farmers' Association wishes to discuss with my right hon. Friend, perhaps he would first write to me about them.
