In 1938, during the lead up to the Second World war, the Ministry of Food set up a Cereals Advisory (Defence) Committee to make arrangements for government control over the supply and distribution of cereals and cereal products. It subsequently became known as the Cereals Control Board, 1939-1940, and was subsumed into the Ministry of Food's Cereals Division from 1940. In 1939, port area grain committees were established in all major British ports under the aegis of the Cereals Control Board, the largest of which was the London Port Area Grain Committee, based at the offices of the London Corn Trade Association (CLC/B/103-08).These committees were authorised to requistion existing stocks in public stores and to make arrangements for the reception, discharge, storage and distribution of subsequent grain imports. They remained in control of imported cereals and animal feeding stuffs until 1953.

The surviving records of the London Port Area Grain Committee were deposited in Guildhall Library in 1987 by the Grain and Feed Trade Association, together with those of related bodies. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

London Port Area Grain Committee records comprise: minutes, 1939-1954 (Ms 23216); and minutes of the establishment sub-committee, 1951-1954 (Ms 23217).

Records arranged by MS number, assigned during cataloguing at the Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section.
