HC Deb 01 March 1945 vol 408 cc1558-9
54. Sir T. Cook

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he is aware of the inadequacy of the present controlled price of turkeys and will he take steps to give increased financial assistance to breeders.

Mr. T. Williams

The present control price of turkeys was decided by the Ministry of Food after consultation with my Department, and my right hon. Friend has no reason to think that it is inadequate. So far as the second part of the Question is concerned, turkey breeders are not in receipt of financial assistance from the Government.
