21. Earl WINTERTONasked the Secretary of State for War what would have been the difference in cost if British-produced meat instead of imported meat had been purchased for the Army for the period from 1st January to 30th June of the present year?
§ Mr. SANDERSIt is estimated that the difference in cost of supplying the Army and Royal Air Force at home with fresh meat instead of imported meat for the six months in question would have been approximately £200,000. To avoid misapprehension I would add that the imported meat supplied was practically all of Dominion origin.
