HC Deb 08 March 1971 vol 813 c2W
39. Mr. Scott

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what quantity of bananas are expected to be imported from British Honduras in 1971.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Virtually none. Production has unfortunately been seriously affected by hurricane damage and will take time to pick up again.

48. Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he proposes to alter the banana quotas for 1971.

Mr. Anthony Grant

No. The basic quota for bananas from the dollar area for the 12 months up to the end of September, 1971, was fixed last year. Arrangements for the following 12 months will be considered in the summer.
