HC Deb 16 August 1920 vol 133 c625W
Mr. RATCLIFFE

asked the Minister of Food if he can supply the numbers of cattle and sheep which passed through the grading markets during control; the numbers which have been allocated to livestock permit holders as retailers; and the numbers which have been allocated to wholesale supply associations and also to Government slaughter-house agents; and what has been the amount debited to the Central Livestock Fund for losses sustained by over-grading of stock supplied to the wholesale meat supply associations?

Mr. McCURDY

The accounts of the Central Livestock Fund have not yet been completed, and I am unable, therefore, to give the information asked for.
