HC Deb 15 December 1965 vol 722 c280W
101. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of the national consumption is represented by the standard quantities of cereals in each of the last three years.

Mr. Hoy

Standard quantities for wheat and barley were introduced at the beginning of the 1964–65 cereal year and represent just over 47 per cent. of total estimated United Kingdom consumption of all cereals in that year. The present forecast for the current cereal is about the same.
