HC Deb 20 May 1942 vol 380 c230
54. Mr. Leach

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether his attention has been called to the distribution of venison after a recent stag hunt in the Exmoor district; why this venison was not handed over to the local food control authorities; and whether he will consider placing venison on the rationed list?

Major Lloyd George

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. Inquiries are being made regarding the matter, and I will communicate with my hon. Friend in due course.

Mr. Leach

Is not the right hon. and gallant Gentleman aware that these bestial functions are always accompanied with public improprieties and cruelties?

Major Lloyd George

That is rather a different question.
