§ Mr. Grovesasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the availability of the equipment of the British Feeding Meals Company, situated at Stratford; and whether he will send a representative of his Department to investigate the possibilities of the development of these resources?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave 203W to the hon. Member for North Camberwell (Mr. Ammon) on 22nd August. I am fully aware of the British Feeding Meals Company's plant at Stratford. About six months ago the Salvage Department of the Ministry of Supply entered into arrangements with the company for the utilisation of that plant for converting kitchen waste into meal for stock-feeding, on a non-profit basis. Representatives of the London Boroughs attended a conference at the company's works in June, and the resources of that plant have since been utilised to the-utmost in this important work.
