HC Deb 13 November 1918 vol 110 c2668
63. Sir R. COOPER

asked the Food Controller whether, in view of the fact that the supplies of flour now available from abroad are increasing, he can see his way to allow the millers in this country to mix a larger proportion of American flour in the G.R. flour supplied to bakers in order to liberate a portion, if not the whole, of the barley, maize, oats, and beans at present mixed in the G.R. flour to be consumed as feeding-stuffs for stock?

Major ASTOR

In view of the improved tonnage situation the question of increasing the supply of feeding-stuffs in the manner suggested has been considered by the War Cabinet, and the Food Controller hopes to make a full statement on the subject. I may, however, point out that no beans and insignificant quantities of maize and oats are now being mixed with G.R. flour.
