§ Mr. G. LAMBERTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he is aware that the prohibition of concentrated food, except in certain instances, for pigs will result in a large decrease in the number of pigs bred and fattened for human consumption; and whether any action is to be taken to prevent this result?
§ Mr. CLYNESI am aware that the shortage of concentrated feeding stuffs must of necessity have a prejudicial effect upon the production of all kinds of animals. The Rationing (Animals) Committee has now under consideration the granting of priority to the claims of breeding sows and young pigs, and every effort is being made to meet the reasonable demands of pig producers.
