§ 27. Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the improved position with regard to the importation of feedingstuffs, he will arrange for an early increase in the present inadequate rations for working horses and ponies.
§ Mr. StracheyI have no reason to believe that the present rations for working horses are inadequate.
§ Sir T. MooreSurely, the right hon. Gentleman must be aware that horses and ponies cannot do their normal work on their present-day issues of feedingstuffs. One has only to look around the countryside and towns to see evidence of this.
