§ Sir J. SPEARasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if, seeing there will be a glut of fat bullocks on sale during the autumn and a scarcity of such cattle during the winter months, because of the lack of hay and concentrated food to keep them on, he will make cold storage provision in order to preserve the surplus grass-fed beef and mutton for winter use and so regulate the supply?
§ Major ASTORIt is proposed to rely mainly on supplies of home-produced meat during the latter months of 1918, and it is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in utilising all the cattle which will come forward. There is ample refrigerated space for the imported meat which will be received during this period of reliance on home-produced supplies.
