HC Deb 28 June 1948 vol 452 c174W
Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Food how much of the barley exported to Eire during the last 12 calendar months had been imported from Russia.

Mr. Strachey

None. Since 1st July, 1947, a total of 28,976 tons of barley has been exported to Eire, all of which was grown in the United Kingdom. The export was made under an arrangement whereby barley is sent to Eire to augment the production of stout for consumption in the United Kingdom.
