HC Deb 27 October 1932 vol 269 c1192W
Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the extra cost which would be incurred by supplying home-grown meat to the Forces for the next six months, taking into consideration the drop in wholesale prices?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

It is estimated that the extra cost incurred in supplying home-killed meat, which is not necessarily the same as home-raised meat, to the Navy, Army and Air Force for six months would be approximately £275,000.
