HC Deb 26 May 1919 vol 116 cc850-1W
Captain REDMOND

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) if his attention has been called to the fact that the Government are not allowing to Ireland her fair percentage of the maize imported into the United Kingdom; and, in view of the fact that maize meal was largely used for finishing pigs, will he see that Ireland obtains her fair share of this commodity?

Mr. BARRIE

Questions as to the distribution of the available supplies of maize should be addressed to the Wheat Commission who are responsible for the distribution. The Department have recently requested that Commission to obtain larger supplies of maize for Ireland, particularly for pig-feeding purposes.
