HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 c28W
Sir W. Smiles

asked the Minister of Food if he will take steps to ensure that all relief sent to other nations will be in the form of meal or flour, so that the residue will be available for livestock feeding in this country.

Mr. Strachey

The only cereals that remain to be shipped from the United Kingdom to other countries are 32,000 tons barley for the British zone of Germany. This barley is urgently required to meet the very critical position in the zone, and it would not be possible without delaying shipments to arrange for the barley to be milled in the United Kingdom.
