§ 69. Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Food what is the storage capacity for grain in charge of his Department; how many of the grain stores, or stores capable of accommodating grain, which were built during the war are available for storage now; and what are the tonnages of barley offered by merchants throughout the country which his Department is unable to accept.
§ Dr. SummerskillOf the total storage capacity available to my Department about half a million tons is, at present, earmarked for grain. Nearly all the stores built during the war are still available and my Department is able to accept all home grown barley offered by merchants which is not disposed of through normal trade channels to other users.
