HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 cc24-5W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that a licence to mill wheat, using a windmill at Upminster of which details have been submitted, has been refused to an experienced miller on the grounds that demand for stone-ground flour does not warrant further licensing of millers; and if he will revise this decision in view of the present need for providing high extraction bread.

Mr. Strachey

The facilities for the production of stone-ground whole wheatmeal are in excess of the public's demand for such flour and I regret I cannot at present license the mill at Upminster. We have, however, undertaken to look again at this case in the autumn.
