HC Deb 16 February 1949 vol 461 c169W
45. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Food in how many aerodromes he is at present storing imported grain; and what precautions he is taking to prevent damage by vermin and weevils.

Dr. Summerskill

My Department is at present using 54 aerodromes for the storage of imported grain. The buildings have been proofed against damage by rats and mice and the grain is piled in accordance with infestation control requirements. Any infestation by vermin or weevil is immediately dealt with by fumigation.
