HC Deb 15 December 1947 vol 445 c276W
91. Mr. Baker White

asked the Minister of Food what percentage of the 1947 barley crop will be allocated to the animal feedingstuffs pool; and how this percentage compares with the allocation for the previous year.

Mr. Strachey

Thirty-four per cent. of the home grown barley sold off farms from the 1946 crop was made available to the feedingstuffs ration pool. The estimate from the much smaller 1947 crop is about 13 per cent.
