§ 38. Mr. John Morganasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether imported wheat is available to poultry keepers at or about the price paid for it, or are poultry keepers to be charged English wheat prices?
§ Mr. BoothbySupplies of imported wheat are not now being issued for the feeding of poultry or any other class of livestock. Any stocks of such wheat that may remain in the hands of the trade cannot be sold at a price above that prescribed in the Feeding-stuffs Maximum Prices Order of 30th July, namely, £7 4s. 1d. per ton, which is less than half the maximum price for home-produced wheat.
