HC Deb 15 November 1944 vol 404 c1964
55. Dr. Little

asked the Minister of Food whether he will state the quantity of the 1944 barley crop grown in the United Kingdom which has been allocated to food, to the brewers, and to seed for next year's sowing, respectively.

Colonel Llewellin

Forty-five per cent., 43 per cent. and 8 per cent, respectively.

Dr. Little

Does not the right hon. and gallant Gentleman recognise that the proportion allotted to the brewers, as compared with the grant for food, is excessive?

Colonel Llewellin

No, food gets more.
