§ Mr. Jacksonasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster why, in view of the premature sale of store pigs, which are being killed for pork, and the wholesale slaughter of young cattle and milking cows, the Ministry have not taken full control over the slaughter and sale of this livestock; and, in view of the danger of reducing our breeding stock, when will full control of sales and prices be exercised?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonThe plan for the full control of meat and livestock was originally linked with the rationing of meat. It has been decided that meat rationing is not at present necessary, and the plan of control is being revised accordingly. I hope to be in a position to make a further announcement on the matter at an early date.
