asked the Minister for Supplies if he will state the quantity of white flour of not more than 70 per cent. extraction now in stock in the country, and whether it is intended to increase the stock of such flour in the immediate future.

I have no information regarding the stock of flour of not more than 70 per cent. extraction, but the quantity held by the principal wholesalers and bakers towards the end of March last was about 13,000 sacks. It is not the intention to issue permits to millers to increase their production of flour of this extraction.
