HC Deb 20 February 1940 vol 357 c1184W
Sih P. Hurd

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the arrangement between the War Office and the National By-Products, Limited, for dealing with the waste food from military and other cookhouses; how far does the scheme cover the whole country; and at what prices is this swill bought by the company and sold to farmers?

Mr. Stanley

The contract with National By-Products, Limited, covers the Aldershot Command and part of the Southern Command. It would be contrary to practice to disclose the terms of the contract. The prices charged by the contractor to farmers are not known to the War Office.
