DOCUMENT IS THE PROPERTY OF HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT. CRET (M) (41) 120 COPY NO. 75 NOVEMBER, 1941. WAR CABINET FOOD POLICY COMMITTEE. MEMORANDUM BY THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES ALLOCATION OF CEREALS FOR DISTILLING 1941/2. 1. Although I fully realise the great need to available supplies of grain for direct human animal feeding, I cannot agree with the Minister of Food (F.P. (M) (41) 113) that we need entirely suspend whisky distilli### at the present time, with the consequent serious damage to (a) barley growers and the confidence of the farming community generally; and (b) our export trade and the dollar exchange.
