HC Deb 06 March 1951 vol 485 c47W
124. Lord Dunglass

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the proposed tonnage of tomatoes to be imported in July, 1951; and whether he can give an assurance that the figure was settled after consultation with representatives of the Scottish growers.

Mr. McNeil

The quota for imports of tomatoes in July, 1951, is 7,200 tons. This figure was determined after consultation with the National Farmers' Unions of the United Kingdom. The quota is liable to review in the light of supplies available from home sources of production.
