HC Deb 12 July 1938 vol 338 cc1085-6
4. Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state in hundredweights the total amount of milled flour imported into Great Britain during 1935, 1936, and 1937?

Mr. Stanley

My hon. Friend will find particulars of the imports of products of the milling and allied industries during the years 1935, 1936, and 1937 on page II of the issue of the "Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom" for December last.

Mr. De la Bère

Can my right hon. Friend tell me in respect to these amounts whether the offals relating to the flour are also imported?

Mr. Stanley

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will look at page 11 of the Accounts relating to Trade and Navigation in the United Kingdom for December last, and if there is any information that he then requires, perhaps he will ask me again.

Mr. Macquisten

Why should not all the flour be milled in this country?
