§ Sir T. Cookasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the declining number of poultry farmers in the county of Norfolk; and whether he has any statement to make on the subject?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI have no information with regard to the number of poultry farmers in Norfolk, but I am aware that 3133W there was an appreciable decline in the number of fowls in that county, as in the rest of England, between 1936 and 1937. Figures for the current year are not yet available. As regards the second part of the question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the statement that I made in reply to the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Mathers) on 11th July.
