§ 85. Mr. G. Brownasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that disabled persons who take up pig and poultry-keeping under the Resettlement Scheme operated by his Department and the Ministry of Labour, find the scale of feedingstuffs rations allowed to be inadequate to enable them successfully to establish themselves; and if he will make an increase in the rations allowed.
§ Sir T. DugdaleThe rations already provided for disabled persons are sufficient for full requirements of a certain number of stock up to a maximum of 20 pigs or 300 birds. There could be116W no greater disservice than to encourage these men to extend their enterprises beyond their physical or other resources; but I propose to discuss with my right hon. and learned Friend the Minister of Labour whether these maximum numbers should be increased in suitable cases.
