§ Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Food if he is aware of the poor quality of much of the feedingstuff now supplied to farmers; and if he will allow the feedingstuffs trade more freedom in purchasing raw materials and adjusting 38W selling prices according to the quality of the product.
§ Mr. StracheyRationed straight feeds are of pre-war quality and the permitted composition of compounds must be governed by the ingredients available from time to time. Control of the distribution, manufacture and prices of feedingstuffs is a part of the Government's agricultural policy, and is necessary at present to support the production programme.
