asked the Minister of Food whether it has been found possible to confirm, or necessary to modify, any of the provisional figures given in the last column of Table 11, relating to food consumption, in the Economic Survey, 1954; and whether he will publish a table giving corresponding provisional figures for any of the early months of the current year.

The revised figures were published in the Ministry of Food Bulletin on 29th May and I am sending the hon. Member a copy. It would be misleading to publish food consumption figures for periods of less than a complete year.
