HC Deb 16 July 1901 vol 97 c582
MR. ALLEN (Gloucestershire, Stroud)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, having regard to the fact that the civil population of Malta, including women and children, is approximately 180,000, he can state what is the minimum stock of reserve grain always maintained in Government granaries for such population.

LORD STANLEY

No, Sir. I am not prepared to publish information of this nature.
