HC Deb 15 December 1950 vol 482 cc237-8W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent he expects a shortage of winter feed in Scotland; and what steps he proposes to take to meet it.

Mr. McNeil

There may be some shortage of home-grown feed this winter in those areas most affected by the bad harvest. Where necessary the seasonal allocations of supplementary feedingstuffs which have already been made to agricultural executive committees for discretionary use to assist farmers in real need are being augmented.
