HC Deb 09 February 1933 vol 274 c366W
Sir G. FOX

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the investigations into the practicability of distinguishing malting from other barley, with a view to an increased duty being placed on the former, have been completed; and, if so, with what result?

Sir G. BOWYER

This question has been carefully examined by the Ministry, but my right hon. Friend regrets that it has not been possible to find a satisfactory method of differentiating at the ports between barley of malting and feeding quality.
