Mr. Guestasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the present serious fall in prices, he will consider giving assistance to home-produced mutton and lamb, thus enabling sheep farmers to meet their obligations of higher wages and increased costs?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThe difficulties and objections involved in any scheme of financial assistance to producers of sheep and lambs are such that I am afraid that I can hold out no prospect of the proposal being adopted.
