§ Major Neven-Spenceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland, whether any change has been made in the scheme for the improvement of poultry breeding in Scotland?
§ Mr. ElliotYes, Sir. In view of altered circumstances it was decided this year to adopt a new scheme under which the names of approved breeders will be published in a register which will be widely distributed. The old scheme, which involved the payment to approved station-holders of bonuses based on the numbers of day-old chicks and hatching eggs sold by them, is being continued in operation in those parts of the congested districts where the industry is in a backward condition.
