HC Deb 19 July 1938 vol 338 c1970
5. Mr. R. J. Taylor

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the meat purchased for war purposes is being used for supplying the current requirements of the home services?

Mr. Stanley

No change in the arrangements for supplying the current requirernents of the Defence Services has been made as a result of the steps taken by the Government to create food reserves under the Essential Commodities Reserves Bill.

Mr. J. J. Davidson

Has there been any increase in the importation of meat for this purpose during the current year?

Mr. Stanley

That is a different question.

Mr. Macquisten

Would it not be better to keep the meat constantly turning over?
