HC Deb 16 June 1952 vol 502 cc762-3
18. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food to what extent the feedingstuffs coupons issued to farmers in the past six months have not been used; and if he expects to be able to do away with the rationing of cereals by the end of this year.

Major Lloyd George

About 5 per cent. have not been used. I can see little prospect of derationing feedingstuffs this year.

Mr. Hurd

Will my right hon. and gallant Friend keep a very close and sympathetic eye on this problem because the sooner he can get rid of the rationing of cereal feedingstuffs the sooner he will get more pigs and poultry from small producers?
