§ 48. Captain P. MACDONALDasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has any information to show the total value of animals sold for meat off British farms during the last four weeks for which figures are available; and how such amount compares with that for the similar four weeks in 1931?
§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Major Elliot)The output of animals from farms is only collected for 12 monthly periods, i.e. between the census dates (June 4th) of any two years, and I regret that the information desired by my hon. and gallant Friend is not available.
