HC Deb 09 May 1918 vol 105 cc2313-4
45. Mr. ROWLANDS

asked the Prime Minister what are the exact duties of the Committee appointed to inquire into the feeding of dogs; and can he say what are the terms of the reference?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Committee is considering what steps are necessary and practicable to effect a reduction in the consumption of food by dogs. There are no formal terms of reference.

Mr. BILLING

Will the right hon. Gentleman appoint a Committee to consider the advisability of cutting down the food allowance of German prisoners and making some small saving in that way?

Mr. SPEAKER

That does not arise out of the question.
