36. Lieut.-Colonel Corbett

asked the Minister of Food the number of plants in Great Britain now in operation for the deep or quick freezing of fruit and vegetables; the number of plants under construction; and if he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names and location of the said plants.

Dr. Summerskill

There are 52 privately owned plants for deep or quick freezing fruit and vegetables operating, and one plant under construction. I am arranging for a list showing the names and location of these plants to be sent to the hon. Member.
