HC Deb 18 February 1947 vol 433 cc169-70W
Lady Grant

asked the Minister of Food if he will give figures of the overall production of oatmeal at Scottish mills for November and December, 1946, and January, 1947, respectively.

Mr. Strachey

Statistical returns of oatmeal production cover periods of two weeks and it is not possible therefore to give accurate figures for production during calendar months. Figures of overall production of oatmeal by Scottish mills are available up to 18th January and are as follow:

4 weeks ended
1946 Tons
23rd November 10,575
21st December 10,262
1947
18th January 8,754
