HC Deb 02 March 1943 vol 387 c469
40. Mr. Boothby

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will examine and, if necessary, revise the present price structure for high-grade beef, with a view to encouraging the production and facilitating the preservation of pedigree stock in Scotland?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food (Mr. Mabane)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the second part of the reply which I gave on 4th February to a similar Question asked by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Kincardine and Western (Major Thornton-Kemsley).

Mr. Boothby

Is this matter still under consideration by His Majesty's Government, or is it finally closed?

Mr. Mabane

I think the proper answer is that it is finally closed.
