§ Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Food how he proposes to distribute the 2 million bushels of Canadian apples arriving in Britain from Canada this autumn; and in view of the fact that half of this quantity is a free gift to the British pepple, whether this amount will be allocated without payment by the recipients.
§ Mr. StracheyThese apples, which have been sold to us by the Canadian Government at half price, will be distributed in all areas according to their population. As consumers cannot always differentiate between home and imported, it would be impracticable to sell them at a specially reduced price.
