§ 89. Mr. FARRELLasked the Food Controller if his office has complete control over the allocation of feeding cakes and cake meals as between Great Britain and Ireland?
§ Major ASTORYes, Sir.
§ 90. Mr. FARRELLasked the estimated monthly output of cattle-feeding cakes and cake meals made in the three Kingdoms?
§ Major ASTORThe estimated monthly output of cattle-feeding cakes and cake meals in the United Kingdom is slightly in excess of 50,000 tons. It must be borne in mind that this amount depends upon the finance being forthcoming for purchase of oil seeds and the shipping being available for their transportation.
§ Mr. FLAVINWhat proportion of these cattle-feeding cakes goes to Ireland?
§ Major ASTORI should require notice of that.
§ Mr. FLAVINIs he aware that practically for the last twelve or eighteen months none went to Ireland, but all was kept in this country?
