§ 78. Mr. Joynson-Hicksasked the Minister of Food what quantity of homegrown eating apples are still awaiting sale in this country; and whether he will defer the marketing of imported apples until the home-produced stocks can be absorbed.
§ Mr. WebbI understand that the supplies of home-grown eating apples which still remain to be marketed are very small indeed; and it would be quite wrong therefore to deprive consumers of the imported supplies now coming forward.
