Fruit Pulp Imports (Quota)

HC Deb 25 March 1952 vol 498 cc30-1W

70. Mr. G. Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the quota of fruit pulp imports for this year.

Mr. H. Strauss

The quota for imports of fruit pulp from Western Europe and certain other non-sterling sources is £480,000 from 8th November, 1951, to 30th June this year. Import licences have been issued so far to a total value of approximately £530,000. The addition is to permit the performance of certain contracts entered into before the November import restrictions were imposed. The quota for the rest of the year will be announced as soon as possible.
