§ 20. Captain WRIGHTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether satisfactory arrangements have been made by the London county and borough councils to keep and feed pigs on the kitchen refuse collected in their areas, or whether many tons of this is daily fed to the destructor furnaces?
§ Mr. CLYNESConferences of all local authorities in the London area have been held under the auspices of the National Salvage Council, when the necessity for conserving all organic refuse for the feeding of pigs has been impressed upon them. It is hoped that schemes will shortly be put into operation for increasing the proportion of refuse so used.

§ Mr. CLYNESIn one or two instances they are.
