HC Deb 01 May 1941 vol 371 c576W
Colonel Carver

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the penalty on enterprise, he will reconsider the Regulation making it an offence for a farmer to feed even his own wheat to poultry if it is up to milling standard?

Major Lloyd George

No, Sir. My Noble Friend believes that it is in the national interest that, apart from seed requirements, all wheat suitable for flour milling should be used for human food, and is confident that the farming community realise the necessity for this restriction.
