§ 61. Mr. A. Edwardsasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster why the Cereals Board have issued instructions not to release maize for the manufacture of glucose; and whether maize is being released to provender millers for cattle-food?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonArrangements have now been made for the allocation of maize for the manufacture of glucose to meet urgent needs. The quantity will depend upon the supply of maize available. The reply to the last part of the hon. Member's question is in the affirmative.
§ Mr. EdwardsIs it not the case that many complaints have been received from manufacturers, who have been held up because they have not been able to obtain glucose; and is the chairman of the Cereals Board the owner of the largest provender mills?
§ Mr. MorrisonI should like notice of those questions.
