§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Sir R. Winfrey)A reply to this question is contained in a paragraph, which is too long to read in answer to a Parliamentary question, on page 33 of the Report drawn up by a Committee of the Royal Society, and published this year as Command Paper 8421, a copy of which I am sending the hon. Member.
§ Mr. J. MASONWould my hon. Friend consider the desirability of restricting the feeding of barley to animals with a view to increasing the proportion used in the making of bread?
