HC Deb 20 November 1941 vol 376 cc491-2W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the abundant crop of oats he will take steps to make available to the public in England, as well as Scotland, increased supplies of oat cakes and other oaten foods?

Major Lloyd George

Steps have already been taken in the direction indicated and the distribution of oat products this month will be double that in November of last year. Further measures are being taken to utilise still more of the oat crop for human consumption and it is hoped very shortly to be able to meet all demands for oatmeal and oat products.
