§ Colonel Carverasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has considered the communications from the East Riding of Yorkshire retail butchers buying committees, protesting against his recent decision with regard to the meat rationing scheme; and whether he has any statement to make?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part of the Question, I have nothing to add to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Burnley (Mr. Burke) on 22nd October except that the same considerations as in Burnley apply to the East Riding.
