HC Deb 07 November 1939 vol 353 c90W
Mr. De la Bère

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that many corn-dealers and corn-merchants throughout the country are unable to obtain any supplies of barley meal or maize; and whether, as these are urgently required during the hard winter season, he can give some assurance to the farmers that supplies will be available at a later date to enable them to maintain their livestock throughout the winter months?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Owing to shipping delays there is at present some shortage of barley meal and maize in certain areas. Substantial shipments of barley and maize, however, are being made and I am hopeful that the position will shortly improve.
