§ Dr. Littleasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, as the nation is being asked to economise in the use of food, while feeding-stuffs for cattle is being cut by 50 percent. and the quantity granted for pigs and poultry is considerably less, he will, in order to avoid a shortage of food for the people and in the interests of our livestock owners, fix the allowance of cereals and sugar for brewers at 50 percent. of pre-war consumption?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI would refer my hon. Friend to my reply to the hon. Member for Wrexham (Mr. Richards) on 12th March. The supply of cereals and sugar is under constant review, and I shall bear in mind the suggestion made by my hon. Friend, if the need arises.
