HC Deb 05 July 1948 vol 453 c3W
26. Mr. Murray

asked the Minister of Food how many tons of coarse grains for animal feedingstuffs he expects to receive in 1949 from the joint scheme with the Queensland Government; and whether these supplies of pig feed to this country are to be on a 80–20 basis, or how such crops are to be divided.

Mr. Strachey

The responsibility for providing estimates of production lies with the Overseas Food Corporation who are, I understand, communicating with my hon. Friend. The use of the crops will be decided in the light of commercial and other considerations from year to year.
