§ 76. Mr. Rileyasked the Minister of Food why there was a total absence of purchasable feeding-stuffs for poultry in the Dewsbury area during the week ended 24th February; and when supplies will be available?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonMy information is that the Dewsbury area is receiving a fair share of the available supply of feeding-stuffs, and I have no evidence to support the suggestion in the Question. Perhaps the hon. Member will let me have particulars of the cases he has in mind.
§ Mr. RileyIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that, although my Question refers only to last week, I am now informed that for eight weeks there has been no supply of these feeding-stuffs in Dewsbury? What is the remedy?
§ Mr. MorrisonI made inquiries into this matter as recently as yesterday, and I was informed that the position there has improved.
