Mr. Hurd
asked the President of the Board of Trade the value of the imports during the past year from the U.S.A. of small wooden spoons; and if he is satisfied that alternative utensils for eating ice-cream are not available from home manufacturers.
Mr. Belcher
Import figures of small wooden spoons are not separately distinguished from other types of domestic woodware, and it is not known whether any of these articles have been imported during the past year. I understand from my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Food, that there are no suitable alternative utensils available for this purpose.
