HC Deb 16 October 1941 vol 374 cc1515-6W
Colonel Carver

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can give any information regarding prices now being paid for the six chief types of pedigree cattle; and whether these animals are being bought in advance for post-war exportation?

Mr. Hudson

I have no information as to the prices now being paid for pedigree cattle other than that contained in reports of sales appearing in the agricultural Press, nor am I aware whether purchases of such animals are being made with the object indicated in the latter part of the Question.
