HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 c57W
9. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Food if he has made any estimate of the amount of fruit that will be lost owing to the small amount of sugar available for jam making; and if he will consider increasing this in order to save the fruit.

Major Lloyd George

I am well aware of the importance of avoiding any waste of fruit if possible, but the hon. Member will also know the currency difficulties of obtaining extra sugar.
