HC Deb 19 October 1949 vol 468 c34W
68. Brigadier Medlicott

asked the Minister of Food what facilities he has given for the import of blackberries from Eire this year.

Mr. Strachey

These are imports made on private account, mainly by jam manufacturers in Northern Ireland. For most of this year they came in under block licensing arrangements, and since 5th October under open general licence. I see no reason for interfering with this trade.
