HC Deb 10 December 1946 vol 431 cc220-1W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Food' whether his attention has been drawn to a case, details of which have been submitted to him, of an experienced miller who was refused a licence to mill wheat in a windmill at Upminster last July, but whose case was promised to be reviewed in the autumn; if he is aware that he has again been refused a licence on the grounds that the mill is unsuitable; and whether, in view of the need for high extraction bread, he will revise this decision.

Mr. Strachey

The case has been reviewed, and in accordance with practice the mill was inspected in order to establish whether the premises and plant were suitable for the production of flour. At present the mill is unsuitable for production but the applicant has been informed that a licence will be granted immediately the necessary repairs and re-equipping have been completed, and has been invited to notify the Ministry when he is ready for a further inspection to be made.
