§ Mr. ROWNTREEasked the Food Controller if instructions have been issued by the Flour Mills Control Committee that all home-grown barley is to be offered to a maltster or brewer on the terms set out in the Grain Prices Order, 1918; and, if so, what arrangements have been made for farmers to get barley to feed their stocks?
§ Mr. PARKERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. On application to a grain officer a farmer may obtain release of 20 per cent. of his threshings of barley or the whole of his damaged barley, tailings, screenings, and dressings, whichever is the greater, on condition that the balance is sold either to a licensed manufacturer or to a recognised dealer in grain.
