§ 34. Mr. Delwyn Williamsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is likely to be the level of self-sufficiency in cereal production for the current year.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithMuch depends on the weather between now and the end of the harvest. Given a reasonable harvest there is likely to be a surplus of feed-grains, but we will need to import sonic hard wheats for breadmaking as well as the maize required by the distilling, starch, glucose and other food industries; some may be used in feedstuffs.
