§ Mr. BILLINGasked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been called to the alleged waste of food essentials at the docks consequent on the lack of proper storage; whether the Government is taking any steps to provide scientific storage for wheat, oats, and cereals, especially, which would preserve them alike from the effects of damp and the ravages of vermin; and whether to this end disused sections of tube railways will be immediately adapted to and used for this purpose?
§ Mr. CLYNESI have been asked to reply. I can add nothing to the answer given yesterday on this point to the hon. and gallant Member for the Ludlow Division, except to say that it is not proposed to utilise the disused ends of tube railways in the manner suggested. I may, however, repeat that it would be more helpful if, instead of making vague allegations, hon. Members would furnish me with definite particulars which could be made the subject of investigation.
