HC Deb 23 June 1936 vol 313 cc1600-1W
Mr. DAY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he can state the amount of butter released from cold storage in Great Britain during October, 1935, and the comparable figure for the same period of 1934?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

Information in regard to butter released from cold store is not available for calendar months. According to figures published by the Imperial Economic Committee, the net movement of butter out of cold storage in Great Britain during the four weeks ended 26th October, 1935, amounted to 221,950 boxes, as compared with 329,500 boxes in the four weeks ended 27th October, 1934.
