HC Deb 20 July 1937 vol 326 c1969
54. Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made with the consideration of remedies for the plight of Scottish poultry farmers; and when he will announce what the Government intend to do in this connection?

Mr. Elliot

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries?

Mr. Mathers

Does the right hon. Gentleman appreciate how his own reputation and that of the Government are suffering because of the delay in this matter?

Mr. Turton

Will the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Mathers) persuade his friends not to oppose the Poultry Bill?
