HC Deb 01 August 1918 vol 109 cc628-9W
Sir J. SPEAR

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if, seeing that barley has proved so valuable in contributing to the bread supply, he will consider the desirability of grading this grain and fixing a price according to quality, so as to encourage the growth of the finest quality?

Mr. CLYNES

The question of differentiating between different grades of barley has been carefully considered, but there are serious difficulties in the way. Seed barley will remain, as last year, uncontrolled.
