HC Deb 09 June 1915 vol 72 c252
33. Mr. HUME-WILLIAMS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether lambs and calves are still being killed in the country; and whether he proposes, in view of the possible shortage of meat during the War, to issue Regulations prohibiting for the future the slaughter of immature cattle?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the BOARD of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Acland)

The question referred to by the hon. Member is most difficult, but it is engaging the most earnest attention of the Board. No Regulations have yet been issued.
