HC Deb 25 October 1944 vol 404 cc183-4W
Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the Minister of Food if some use can be found for the large acreage of cabbage in the country, which is in excess of ordinary market wants and which will constitute a heavy loss to the growers who were urged and directed to grow by the respective Government Department.

Colonel Llewellin

I understand that growers were only urged to increase production for marketingafter Christmas. There is no outlet for the present excess tonnage for human food, but it can of course be usefully employed for stock-feeding.
