§ 17. Mr. Sextonasked the Secretary of State for Air the value and weight of National Mark beef supplied to the Royal Air Force for the years 1936, 1937 and 1938, respectively?
§ Sir K. WoodI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War. These figures cover the Royal Air Force, the supplies for which are obtained by the Army authorities.
§ Mr. SextonIs the right hon. Gentleman aware, first, that I have received no real answer to my question about National Mark beef and, secondly, that the Ministry of Agriculture has been decrying the demand for cheap food and that the Government are the biggest sinners, because during the past three years they have paid only 2½d. per lb. for meat?
