HC Deb 12 November 1918 vol 110 cc2520-1W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he will arrange that an equal ratio of cattle feeding-stuffs will be immediately supplied to Ireland in view of the continued embargo, which necessitates out-feeding for grass-fed cattle?

Major ASTOR

The Food Controller is not prepared to depart from the agreement whereby Ireland is allotted 12 per cent. of the available supply of cattle cake. This agreement was made after thorough discussion of the requirements of the three countries with representatives of the three Departments of agriculture, and the question cannot now be reopened.
