§ Sir T. BRAMSDONasked the Minister of Food if he will give detailed particulars as to how many Government food stores exist throughout the country; what are the precise contents of each store; and for how long the food has been stored in each case?
§ Mr. McCURDYIt is impossible without a special inquiry from the Divisional Commissioners to give the exact details asked for by the hon. Member. It will, however, probably meet his wishes if I state that the largest individual item of the stocks referred to consists of 6,000 oases of salmon at Nottingham, which, as has already been indicated in previous replies, have either been or arc; about to be sold. The balance of the stocks comprise small parcels which constitute the Divisional Commissioners' working reserves for distribution, and which fluctuate accordingly.
