§ 34. Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the room for the expansion of horse breeding in this country as a result of the increased demand from farmers; and what steps are being taken by his Department to ensure that the requisite horses shall be supplied from home rather than foreign breeders?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMMy right hon. Friend has reason to believe that farmers in this country are increasing the production of heavy horses to satisfy the improved demand for these animals. The grants provided through the Ministry to assist heavy horse breeding are having a considerable influence in encouraging the home production of good quality heavy horses.
