§ Mr. W. Robertsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in view of the shortage of animal feeding-stuffs, he will make arrangements that every farmer should register with a feeding-stuff merchant and purchase from him alone, in order that an equitable distribution of available supplies should be assured?
§ Sir W. WomersleyMy right hon. Friend does not consider that the adoption of the suggestion made by the hon. Member would in itself solve the difficulty to which he refers. The question of what action might be taken to ensure a more equitable distribution of the available supplies of feeding-stuffs is now being examined by the Departments concerned.
