HC Deb 15 November 1927 vol 210 c803
16. Mr. A. V. ALEXANDER

asked the President of the Board of Trade the consumption of flour per head of the population in Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the years 1924, 1925 and 1926, respectively?

Sir P. CUNLIFFE-LISTER

Particulars of the production of flour in this country are not furnished annually to any Government Department. It would, however, appear from the results of the latest census of production, combined with our import and export records, that about 4,500,000 tons of wheat flour were available in Great Britain in 1924, or approximately 230 lbs. per head of the population.
