§ 45. Mr. Price(for Sir Ernest Graham- Little) asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in spite of the order just issued prohibiting the use of home-grown wheat by the producer for his livestock, it is still the policy of the Ministry to permit millers to sell 28 per cent. of the wheat they purchase to feeding-stuff merchants and patent food manufacturers?
Major Lloyd GeorgeNo, Sir. Since my Noble Friend now requires every controlled flour miller to supply national wheat meal, of a minimum extraction of 85 per cent., the amount of wheat offals available for the purposes mentioned by my hon. Friend have declined in proportion to the quantity of national wheatmeal required to meet the public demand for long-extraction flour.
