HC Deb 27 October 1932 vol 269 c1172W
Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the depression in agriculture and of the fall in the wholesale price of meat, he will now arrange for the supply of home-grown meat to the Forces?

Major ELLIOT

While the depression in agriculture and particularly the fall in wholesale prices of meat are matters which are receiving my very close attention, I regret I am not in a position to hold out hopes that it will be possible to adopt the proposal to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers.
