HC Deb 08 February 1940 vol 357 c432W
Mr. J. Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the Poultry Advisory Council is still in existence; and, if so, what are its present activities?

Sir J, Edmondson

The Poultry Advisory Committee established in 1927 has not been called together since 1937, although the committee has not been formally dissolved. To advise the Ministry on matters of interest to the poultry industry during the war, my right hon. and gallant Friend has set up a smaller Advisory Committee, which has so far met on four occasions, and considered various questions of interest to the welfare of poultry keepers.
