§ 15. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Food if, in view of the fact that estimated butter imports in the United Kingdom for 1952 are 272,000 tons against 497,000 tons in 1938, what action he is taking to explore new sources of supply; and if he will make a statement on the position.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI am buying the maximum quantities of butter which Australia, New Zealand and Denmark are willing to supply. The only other significant sources of supply are in Europe, and I am buying all I can get from such sources at reasonable prices.
