§ 65. Sir H. Roperasked the Minister of Food why there are no prunes for sale in shops at the present time; and when they can be expected to be available again.
§ Mr. WebbThere have been no imports of prunes into the country for the last 12 months, and remaining stocks are negligible. Supplies in any quantity can only be obtained from the United States of America for dollars, and until we can spare dollars, I am afraid that no prunes will be available for domestic consumers.
