§ Captain Duncanasked the Minister of Agriculture for how many farmers' dogs were ration coupons issued by his Department in 1949.
Mr. T. WilliamsThe average monthly issue of rationed feedingstuffs for sheep dogs in England and Wales in 1949 was sufficient for 47,000 dogs. In addition, a small ration may be issued by agricultural executive committees, on proof of need, for dogs used for killing vermin, but no details are available.
