HC Deb 26 July 1927 vol 209 c996
5. Major GLYN

asked the President of the Board of Trade what was the total quantity of wheat flour imported into this country in 1926; what was the export of by-products from flour mills in Great Britain as the result of milling the grain; and what proportion of these by-products is estimated were the result of milling wheat grown in this country?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

The imports of wheat meal and flour in 1926 amounted to 533, 000 tons, and the exports of bran, pollard, sharps and middlings to 60, 250 tons. I am unable to estimate what proportion of these exports was produced from home-grown wheat.
