HC Deb 18 April 1950 vol 474 c12W
Mr. Renton

asked the Minister of Food what was the cost of distributing in this country the 88,000 tons of apples imported by his Department in 1949.

Mr. Webb

The cost borne by my Department, including Ministry overheads, was about £640,000. I have no information about the cost of distribution beyond delivery to wholesalers.
