HC Deb 12 December 1933 vol 284 c212W
Sir F. SANDERSON

asked the Prime Minister whether he will take steps to include a proportion of British-bred beef in all His Majesty's Government's food contracts, provided that the price and quality are the same as that now used?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have been asked to reply. The beef now supplied under Government contracts is almost wholly of British Empire origin. If my hon. Friend meant to refer to home-raised beef, I would refer him to the answer given to the hon. and gallant Member for Taunton (Lieut.-Colonel Gault) on 30th November.
