Fruit and Vegetables

HC Deb 26 June 1950 vol 476 cc180-1W

99. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Food what action he is taking to prevent a repetition of the delay in the handling of Cornish and Devon potato and soft fruit produce which occurred last year.

Mr. Webb

Private traders and the transport organisations concerned are making the arrangements for handling these crops, and there is, I think, no reason for me to interfere.
