asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will state the total amount of grain which is expected to be left in store at the end of July before the addition of the new season's grain; and how many day's supply this represents.

There are likely to be some 1·4 million tonnes of feed quality common wheat and 0·8 million tonnes of barley in intervention stores at 31 July, representing about 85 days' and 51 days' supply respectively to the animal feed sector.
