HC Deb 22 March 1937 vol 321 c2546
27. Sir M. Barclay-Harvey

asked the Minister of Agriculture what percentage of cattle which have qualified for subsidy in England and Wales were home-bred?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

Precise figures are not available. In particular, I have no information as to the number of imported store cattle which are landed in Scotland and subsequently certified for fat cattle subsidy in England and Wales or vice versa. It is estimated, however, that in the years 1935 and 1936 about 75 per cent. of the animals certified for subsidy in England and Wales were bred in the United Kingdom.
