HC Deb 07 July 1927 vol 208 c1441W
Lieut.-Colonel GAULT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the present depressed state of agriculture, he is prepared to return to the pre-War practice of his Department and supply a proportionate amount of English meat for the, consumption of the Army?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

I regret that on the ground of increased expense, estimated at £500;000, it is not possible to supply English meat to the troops.
