§ 6. Mr. Manderasked the Secretary of State for Air the number of pigeons from the United States of America accepted for use overseas, and the countries in which they are going to be used?
§ Sir A. SinclairIt would not be in the public interest to give the information asked for by my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. ManderWill my right hon. Friend bear in mind that there are vast numbers of pigeons in this country which will have to be slaughtered because of the present restrictions as regards feeding-stuffs, and will he see that these birds have the preference wherever possible?
§ Sir William DavisonWill my right hon. Friend speak to his colleagues about the pigeons in London, which are doing a great deal of harm to allotments and other things, and ought to be done away with?
§ Mr. MathersAre not the pigeons referred to in the Question more valuable to the national effort than race-horses?
