HC Deb 12 December 1935 vol 307 c1143W
Major DESPENCER-ROBERTSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, since it is the policy of the Government to encourage home production, he will take steps to see that the Army is provided with home-produced meat?

Sir V. WARRENDER

Apart from administrative difficulties, the extra cost of supplying home-killed meat as against frozen meat of Empire origin would, I regret, be prohibitive as far as Army funds are concerned.
