HC Deb 23 October 1952 vol 505 c141W
89. Mr. Peart

asked the Minister of Agriculture what special steps he proposes to take to increase beef production for the next two years.

Sir T. Dugdale

The extended calf subsidy will encourage the breeding and rearing of beef cattle but its main effect will not be felt until after 1954. Adjustments of the price schedule made last spring should encourage quicker and better fattening of beef animals.
