HC Deb 18 October 1939 vol 352 cc892-3W
Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is now confident that poultry-keepers can look forward to about usual supplies of suitable feeding-stuffs for the next three or six months so that time can be taken to liquidate surplus stocks without undue haste and measures taken early next year to increase home-grown supplies of food?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

So far as can be foreseen at present wheat and wheaten offals will be available in adequate quantities for feeding to poultry during the next few weeks. Supplies must depend, however, upon the quantity of wheat which arrives from overseas, and I am, therefore, unable to give any undertaking except that every effort is being made to maintain adequate supplies.
