HC Deb 09 March 1916 vol 80 c1724
85. Captain STANIER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture if he is aware that a considerable quantity of ground olive stones have been imported recently into this country; whether there is a regular trade in this commodity; to what commercial use is it put; have any traces of this article been found as an adulterant of human or cattle foods; and is there any nutritive value in these ground olive stones?

Mr. ACLAND

The Board are aware of the importation of ground olive stones, and are inquiring as to the uses to which the material is being put. Ground olive stones have no value as a feeding material.
