§ Mr. G. Macdonaldasked the Minister of Agriculture whether any instructions have been issued as to the quality of feeding-stuffs to be supplied to persons keeping less than 50 head of poultry; and whether there is any differentiation for the owners of less than 12 head of poultry?
Mr. HudsonNo instructions have been issued regarding the quality of feeding-stuffs supplied to persons rationed on the basis of 13 to 50 head of poultry, who are entitled to purchase the same kinds of rationed feeding-stuffs as are persons rationed on the basis of larger numbers of poultry. Domestic poultry keepers with 12 or fewer birds are only entitled to purchase poultry balancer meal, the manufacture of which is controlled by licence of my right hon. and noble Friend the Minister of Food. The formula for balancer meal was agreed by experts of my Department as suitable for feeding with kitchen and garden waste.
