HC Deb 15 October 1942 vol 383 c1762
52. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will reconsider the proposal to place disabled ex-Service men poultry keepers in the same category as the blind respecting supplementary rations for their flocks?

The Minister of Agriculture (Mr. R. S. Hudson)

I regret that the hon. Member's suggestion is not practicable.

Mr. Sorensen

Has the right hon. Gentleman received any representations concerning this matter from interested organisations?

Mr. Hudson

I have had representations from a number of quarters about the hardships involved, but the rations are not available to enable me to alleviate those hardships.
