§ Mr. ANDERSONasked the Secretary for Scotland whether the Board of Agriculture for Scotland has considered the question of recommending municipalities to organise the collection of waste-food scraps for the purpose of feeding pigs; and whether any action is to be taken in the matter with a view to effecting national economies and increasing the food supplies of the country?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI understand that the question has been raised with the Board of Agriculture for Scotland, but that they are doubtful of the possibility of doing anything practical on these lines; they will, however, call the attention of District Agricultural Committees 585W operating in the neighbourhood of Burghs to the possibility of securing increased feeding for pigs from this source.
