HC Deb 05 February 1951 vol 483 c166W
83. Mr. H. Fraser

asked the Minister of Food how long he proposes to maintain the present corned beef ration in view of the breakdown of negotiations with Argentina; and what are his alternative sources of supply.

Mr. Webb

I cannot forecast the future make-up of the ration. Argentina is not our sole supplier of canned corned meat. Supplies also come from Australia, New Zealand and Paraguay.
