HC Deb 02 May 1951 vol 487 cc144-5W
57. Mr. Turner

asked the Minister of Food whether his Department now purchases linseed oil from other sources besides the Argentine; and whether the new Argentine trade agreement contains any terms relating to the purchase of linseed or linseed oil.

Mr. F. Willey

Yes, we buy linseed oil from Uruguay and linseed from India and British East Africa. The new Argentine agreement does not deal specifically with purchases of linseed oil, but provides for the continuance of traditional trade at the highest possible level.
