HC Deb 07 November 1916 vol 87 c87W
Captain C. BATHURST

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he realises that the price of milk and of meat is largely traceable to the price of bran, middlings, and other milling offals; whether the export of any and, if any, what quantity, of milling offals to Denmark is now permitted by the Government; and whether, seeing that such offals are fed to pigs which are subsequently exported to Germany, the Government will impose an embargo upon their export and thus cheapen milk and meat at Home?
