28. Major Lloydasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether experiments have been undertaken with the canning of hill mutton and lamb: and whether the results have been satisfactory?
Mr. JohnstonThe experiments in question, so far as quality, nutrition and attractiveness to the palate are concerned, have proved very successful indeed. I am awaiting particulars as to costs, etc. I trust that the firm of canners who have conducted the experiments will be able to lay evidence before the Committee of Inquiry upon Hill Sheep Farming presided over by Lord Balfour of Burleigh.
Major LloydAre there not ample facilities for large-scale production once experiments are complete?
Mr. JohnstonI think there are adequate opportunities available if proper organisation in the industry can be secured.
