§ 29. Mr. Osborneasked the Minister of Food if he is aware that during the unloading of the cargo of grain which he had stored for some months in the sailing ship "Pamir" some 8,000 rats were destroyed; and to what use the cargo was put.
§ Mr. WebbAs I have already told the hon. Member, I know that this vessel was found on discharge to be badly infested with rats, but I do not know how many were destroyed. The barley unloaded was in good condition and will be used for feeding animals, which is the purpose for which it was imported.
