60. Mr. P. Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture what is the estimated tonnage of plums and soft fruit wasted in Kent this season owing to the shortage of tinplate.

Sir T. Dugdale

As far as I am aware there has not been any wastage of soft fruit or plums in Kent this season owing to a shortage of tinplate, but if my hon. Friend will send me particulars of any case which has come to his notice I will look into it.
