HC Deb 22 July 1957 vol 574 c1W
11. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much of the 1956 wheat crop remained unsold at the end of June, 1957.

Mr. Amory

Market reports suggest that virtually all the crop was cleared by that date. About 2.4 million tons of millable and potentially millable wheat were delivered off farms by the end of the crop year out of a crop of 2.7 million tons in England and Wales. The balance is thought to have been mostly nonmillable wheat which will have been used for stock feed.
