Mr. KELLY

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Air Ministry what is the total quantity of flax purchased in Derry market up to the present; and how much of it has obtained the special grade?

Sir W. EVANS

I have been asked to answer this question. The total quantity of flax purchased by the Government in the Derry market up to the present date is 274 tons. None of this has been of sufficiently high quality to be classed as "special grade."
