HC Deb 22 February 1960 vol 618 c9W
64. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what factors have caused the delay in the settlement of trading balances outstanding from the period of food control and now requiring Supplementary Estimates; and what further settlements have yet to be made.

Mr. Godber

The main factors causing the delay in the settlement of trading balances outstanding from the food control period are the complexities of examination and negotiation of disputed claims. Consequently I am unable to state what further settlements have yet to be made.
