HC Deb 03 December 1954 vol 535 c9W
Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what negotiations have taken place in regard to imports of canned fruit and citrus juices from the United States of America under aid; and if any decision has yet been reached.

Mr. Maudling

Discussions are in progress with the United States authorities on the possibility of imports under aid which may be offered in respect of the United States fiscal year 1954–55, but it is not intended to include canned grapefruit, grapefruit juice or single strength orange juice in any arrangements which may be made.
