§ 12. Mr. C. BATHURSTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he realises the difficulty now being experienced in many grazing and dairy districts owing to so many agricultural employés joining the Colours, of milking the cattle and the consequent tendency to fatten and sell milch cattle for beef; and whether, recognising the importance of maintaining the Home production of milk and milk products, the Board will take steps to promote classes for giving instructions in milking to young women of such districts and so enable then), as in other countries, to take the place of male milkers?
§ Sir H. VERNEYThe answer to both parts of the question is in the affirmative.
