HC Deb 22 October 1942 vol 383 c2096
52. Mr. Donald Scott

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now in a position to make a statement with regard to a subsidy for hill-breeding cattle in England and Wales on the lines of that at present in operation in Scotland?

Mr. Hudson

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply that I gave to him on 30th April last, to which I am afraid I have nothing to add.

Mr. Scott

Can my right hon. Friend state the reason for this delay? Is it due to the difficulty of deciding which breeds are to be eligible for the subsidy?

Mr. Hudson

Perhaps my hon. Friend will be good enough to look at the answer which I gave him in April, and he will see the answer to his Supplementary Question.
