HC Deb 25 June 1951 vol 489 c95W
2. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food if he will give details of the contracts made with Canadian producers for the supply of cheese, eggs, bacon and other meat in 1951.

Mr. Webb

My Department has recently signed a contract with the Ontario Cheese Producers Association Marketing Board for the delivery of 20 million pounds of cheese during 1951 and negotiations are now in progress for a further quantity from Quebec. No contracts have been made with Canadian producers during 1951 for the supply of eggs, bacon and other meat.
