HC Deb 01 August 1919 vol 118 c2431W
Mr. W. SHAW

asked the Food Controller if, seeing that the price of foreign wheat is likely to be fixed at about 60s. per quarter on the 1st September and that consequently the price of flour will be very much lower than the price of oatmeal, he will state what step she proposes to take to protect the oatmeal millers in this country and so prevent many of these mills which have been restarted during the War from again becoming derelict?

Mr. MCCURDY

The suggested reduction will not in any way affect the selling price of flour.
