HC Deb 29 June 1976 vol 914 c156W
Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why he prohibited the re-export of a shipment of Indian potatoes valued at £1½ million, which were imported under a Ministry of Agriculture licence issued to Graham H. Davies Ltd., but refused as a normal import on arrival.

Mr. Bishop

Exports of potatoes other than seed potatoes have been banned since mid-October 1975, on account of the supply situation. I am looking into the circumstances of the case raised by the hon. Member.
