Mr. De la Bèreasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, in connection with the Feeding-stuffs (Maximum Prices) Order, 1940, he will consider amplifying and amending this Order, with a view to introducing some degree of stability and preventing further increases in the price of feeding-stuffs for cattle?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI shall be pleased to consider any suggestions that my hon. Friend may wish to make in regard to this matter.
Mr. De la Bèreasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will, in connection with the supply of feeding-stuffs for poultry and pigs, consider appointing an impartial full-time director-general of feeding-stuffs, whose duties will consist in finding additional supplies of feeding-stuffs and preventing excessive 812W supplies of straight-run feeding-stuffs being manufactured into compound cakes by the milling combines?
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe Ministry of Food, which is responsible for the supply and distribution of feeding-stuffs, has already on its staff a director of feeding-stuffs with previous experience of the problems involved who has had no trade connection with feeding-stuffs.
