§ 8. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the consumption of beef in the United Kingdom for the last six months and the figure for the corresponding period twelve months ago.
§ Mr. GodberSupplies of beef and veal moving into consumption during July-December, 1958 are estimated at 584,000 tons. This compares with 646,000 tons for the same period in 1957.
§ Mr. WilleyMay we assume that at the next General Election we shall not hear the cry, "More red meat"?
§ Mr. GodberI should have thought that the hon. Gentleman would have hung his head in shame before he dared to question any matter of beef supplies under this Government as compared with his own.
