HC Deb 29 February 1960 vol 618 c106W
76. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking, in the interests of consumers and home producers, to ensure that winter crops of potatoes, grown in Middle Eastern countries, Italy and Greece, are sold as ware and not as new potatoes, when they arrive in Great Britain.

Mr. Hare

Imports of ware potatoes are not permitted at the present time, therefore I cannot take the action suggested by my hon. and gallant Friend.
