§ 64. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Food what tonnage of maize held by him in store in Britain has been lost in 1948 and 1949 to date, by the action of weevils.
§ Dr. SummerskillIt is impracticable to separate loss by weevil infestation from the other small losses which occur on stored grain. But any loss of imported maize after it has been taken into store is negligible, owing to the measures taken to prevent deterioration.
§ Mr. ErrollCan the right hon. Lady then say what the total losses were?
§ Dr. SummerskillNot without notice.
