§ Lieut.-Commander AGNEWasked the Minister of Agriculture if, with a view to making available to raisers of stock supplies of cheaper wheat-feed and at the same time increasing employment in the milling industry, he will consider taking steps to admit ground wheat-flour into this country by licence only, to be followed by total prohibition as soon as British mills are capable of milling the whole quantity of home requirements?
§ Sir J. GILMOURUnder our treaty obligations it would only be possible to regulate, by a system of licensing, the importation of flour as part of a comprehensive scheme for regulating also the marketing of the output of flour from United Kingdom mills.
