Allocations of maize quotas to flour millers who are also provender millers are on the same basis as those made to all other users, that is, purchases in the datum period of 1st January, 1959 to 29th February, 1960. It is not the practice to disclose information relating to individual traders. Maize quotas are in no way related to flour milling licences but applications by former flour millers for new or increased quotas will be examined on their merits.
