§ 34. Mr. Cassellsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is prepared to see that, if any rationing scheme is introduced for livestock foods, poultry 959 feeding should be included on a parity basis commensurate with other livestock requirements?
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Scotland (Captain McEwen)The allocation of feeding-stuffs, if a rationing scheme is introduced, must depend upon the supply position from time to time and the relative importance in the national interest of the various classes of livestock. The hon. Member will, of course, be aware of the announcement of the Government's policy with regard to feeding-stuffs and livestock made on 22nd November last.
§ Mr. CassellsDoes not the hon. and gallant Gentleman consider that the suggestion contained in this Question is quite to the point, having regard to the position in Denmark at the present moment?
