HC Deb 22 July 1937 vol 326 cc2431-2W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Agriculture what assistance is being given by his Department to the experiments now being carried out with regard to the nutritive qualities of herring meal as a feeding-stuff for cattle; and by what date the results of these experiments are likely to be finally known?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

The experiments in question are being carried out at institutions aided either by the Ministry or the Department of Agriculture for Scotland, the cost of the herring meal—and in two cases a small additional charge to meet "out-of-pocket" expenses—being met by the Herring Industry Board. The results in most cases should be available shortly.
