§ 13. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the proportion of home-grown barley and other home-grown materials used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs in 1956; and how this compares with the proportion before the war.
Mr. Amory:It is estimated that the proportion of home-grown barley and other home-grown grains and materials used in the manufacture of compound feedingstuffs in Great Britain in 1956 was about 24 per cent. No precise information is available about the pre-war proportion, but it is believed to have been much lower.
