HC Deb 06 June 1957 vol 571 cc118-9W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the likelihood of an early cherry season, if he will review the date of the Cherry Fruit Fly Order.

Mr. Godber

My right hon. Friend assumes that my hon. Friend refers to the restrictions on importation of raw cherries in Section 7 (6) of the Importation of Plants Order, 1955. The dates in that Section are regarded as appropriate for the protection of the health of the cherry crop in this country, and my right hon. Friend does not propose to change them.
