Brigadier Clarke
asked the Minister of Food what date was agreed for delivering the Polish geese ordered under the contract of May, 1949.
Mr. Webb
From 1st July, 1949, to 31st August, 1950.
Brigadier Clarke
Does the Minister appreciate that the inefficiency of his Department has cost the British housewife £119,000 and that she does not like having her Polish geese stored for so long?
Mr. Webb
I do not agree that the Ministry of Food is inefficient.
