HC Deb 07 November 1918 vol 110 cc2288-9
44. Sir R. COOPER

asked if any feeding-stuffs have been exported from this country during the first nine months of this year; and, if so, will he state the total quantity and value which was exported?

Mr. WARDLE

The exports (including re-exports) of feeding-stuffs from the United Kingdom during the first nine months of 1918 amounted to 96,141 cwts. of a total value of £65,011. Some corn and corn offals included in this total may have been used for purposes other than the feeding of animals.

Captain Sir B. STANIER

Can the hon. Gentleman tell us what these feeding-stuffs were?

Mr. WARDLE

It is rather a long list.

Sir B. STANIER

Will you publish it?

Mr. WARDLE

If my hon. Friend wishes it.

Sir R. COOPER

Are we to understand that there has been no export of feeding stuffs suitable for the feeding of cattle sent to Holland during the first nine months of this year?

Mr. WARDLE

I believe nothing has been sent to Holland.
