§ Sir B. CHADWICKasked the Secretary of State for War whether, with a view to assisting the British agriculturist, he will arrange for the Army to be provided with three days' fresh meat each week in lieu of frozen meat during the period July to December when, owing to the lower costs of production caused by the out-feeding of cattle, this killed meat could be purchased at advantageous rates, and when it would be of greatest advantage to British farmers in marketing surplus cattle?
§ Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANSI regret that considerations of expense do not permit of the adoption of this suggestion.
