HC Deb 06 April 1903 vol 120 cc1112-3
SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider the advisability of allowing the meat of Canadian-bred cattle to be included in the meat contracts for the Army.

MR. BRODRICK

This question has been very carefully considered, and the arrangement under which home - bred beef only can be accepted for Army supplies at home could only be disturbed to the detriment of the home producer.
