HC Deb 30 October 1952 vol 505 c251W
Lieut.-Commander Baldock

asked the Minister of Food in view of the shortage of dried fruit, what progress has been made with drying plums; and how far the product is satisfactory.

Major Lloyd George

A number of interests conducted experiments on a commercial scale in the drying of plums. The quantity was not great, but I understand that the results were generally encouraging.
