Mr. De la Bèreasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether, in connection with feeding stuffs for cattle, he is aware that some manufacturers of balanced rations are contemplating selling these rations undeclared on the ground that the outside sources, which were available before the war for the balanced rations, are not now available; and, since these rations cannot now be described as balanced, whether he will take steps to prevent these compound mixtures being sold in view of the shortage of feeding stuffs for cattle?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonNo cases have been brought to my notice of manufacturers selling mixtures without the statutory statements required under the Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act. It is possible, however, that manufacturers may have supplied certain mixed feeds with a notice that to produce a balanced ration a cereal addition, for example, barley meal, is required. This is not unusual even in peace-time, and it is not considered that any action on the part of the Ministry of Food is necessary.
