HC Deb 22 May 1950 vol 475 cc201-2W
20. Sir G. Jeffreys

asked the Minister of Food whether he will circulate a copy of the precise instructions which have been given to those responsible for the inspection of imported fruit with a view to ensuring that strawberries coming into this country have not been rendered dangerous to consumers by unskilled use of new insecticides.

Mr. F. Willey

As I told the hon. and gallant Member on 8th May, my right hon. Friend is considering whether special advice should be given to medical officers of health at sea and air ports on this matter, but the necessary investigations are not yet complete.
