§ 55. Mr. Dodds-Parkerasked the Minister of Agriculture in view of the fact that the whole working of his poultry scheme is being endangered by large-scale thefts which are now taking place in the countryside, whether he will instruct his county executive committees to draw to the attention of farmers and others the need of enlistment in special constabularies.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsNo. I do not consider that the hon. Member's proposal would be the best way to deal with this problem, and I would refer him to my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for West Leicester (Mr. Janner) on 24th November.
