§ Mr. DONNERasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office the total value of meat contracts placed by his Department with British supplies of home-produced meat; and whether he can. take any steps to increase such contracts?
§ Mr. COOPERPurchases of borne-killed meat for the troops in the United Kingdom are limited to very small quantities for hospitals and to one or two small camps. It is not practicable to give the value. As regards the latter part of the question, I have nothing to add to the reply given to the hon. and gallant Member for Tiverton (Lieut.-Colonel Acland-Troyte) by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries on 27th October.
