HC Deb 12 May 1909 vol 4 c1819
Mr. WARING

asked the hon. Member for South Somerset what acreage was under barley crop last year in the counties of Banff, Elgin, Nairn, Inverness, Boss, Sutherland, Caithness, Orkney, Aberdeen, Kincardine, Forfar, and Perth; what was the number of bushels of barley produced last year in those counties; and whether he is aware that the whisky distillers in those counties purchased more than half the barley produced there?

Sir E. STRACHEY

This is a very long answer. Perhaps the hon. Member will allow me to circulate it. [See Written Answers this date.]
