HC Deb 29 June 1949 vol 466 cc91-2W
49. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Food, in view of the fact that the International Emergency Food Council is dispensing with the control of cocoa beans, whether he will permit free purchases of cocoa at current world prices by manufacturers in this country.

Dr. Summerskill

No. We must have some experience of the effect of the Council's action before considering the course suggested by the hon. Member.
