§ Sir G. FOXasked 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. BOWYERThis 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.
