HC Deb 05 October 1944 vol 403 cc1159-60W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the bad hay crop and the poor prospects for milk yield in some areas during the coming winter, he will arrange for emergency issues of feeding stuffs to dairy cattle where necessary.

Mr. Hudson

Yes, Sir. This has already been done. I have reminded farmers that the feeding stuffs rationing scheme already provides for the issue of supplementary rations for dairy cattle where loss of fodder crops has occurred, and have urged them to make applications to their Committees where, owing to these conditions, there is a risk that milk yields may suffer.
