HC Deb 16 May 1950 vol 475 c140W
90. Lord Dunglass

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will review the decision to import under licence 7,200 tons of tomatoes in the month of July, when the Scottish crop is likely to be at its height.

Mr. T. Fraser

The quota fixed for imports of tomatoes in July is 7,200 tons. This quota will be subject to review in the light of supplies available from home production. Any such review would take into account total home production and not production in Scotland alone.
