HC Deb 01 November 1948 vol 457 c21W
Mr. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Minister of Agriculture what was the total supply of coarse grain feedingstuffs, including unmillable wheat and barley and other cereals retained on farms, available to farmers in 1946–47 and 1947–48 respectively, in the United Kingdom.

Mr. G. Brown

Approximately 3,850,000 tons and 3,550,000 tons respectively, not including seed corn. The latter figure was affected by exceptionally low corn yields in 1947; imported coarse grains consumed on farms increased by some 550,000 tons between the two years.
