HC Deb 05 November 1929 vol 231 c829
64. Captain CROOKSHANK

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, seeing that national mark schemes have been introduced for beef and flour, he is taking any steps towards helping such schemes by purchasing national mark beef and flour for the troops stationed in this country?

Mr. SHAW

I have nothing to add to the answer given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture to the hon. Member for Horncastle (Mr. Haslam), of which I am sending the hon. and gallant Member a copy.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Can the right hon. Gentleman tell the House what is the use of the Government inviting the public to buy English beef if they do not buy it themselves?
