§ 53 and 54. Commander Locker-Lampsonasked the Minister of Agriculture (1) whether he will consider establishing within 10 miles of London 10,000 goats, in view of the fact that they could supplement the milk supply and relieve the milk shortage;
(2) how many goats are being kept within 10 miles radius of London; and if he will consider putting goats upon the gardens, parks and open spaces which are now being used.
Mr. HudsonI have no information as to the number of goats kept within 10 miles radius of London. As to the remaining parts of the Question, I am afraid my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestions are impracticable.
§ Commander Locker-LampsonIs my right hon. Friend aware that the goat has been the poor man's cow for generations, that its milk is non-tubercular and that it gives two gallons per day? Why should we not march upon milk, to victory through vitamins?
