65. Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the President of the Board of Trade the total number of boxes of bacon held in stock in this country by or consigned to the Food Department of the Board of Trade on the 31st March, 1923; and also the purchase cost to the Department of these goods per box?

Lieut.-Colonel BUCKLEY (Secretary, Overseas Trade Department)

No stock of bacon was held in this country by, or consigned to, the Food Department of the Board of Trade on 31st March, 1923; the second part of the question therefore does not arise.
