§ Mr. MabanePea flour made from feeding peas or pea pickings and pea flour unfit for human consumption may be used for feeding to livestock. No practical device is known for making horse chestnuts palatable for human beings. Advice on the preparation of a horse chestnut meal suitable for replacing cereals in the rations of fattening stock is, however, set out in a leaflet issued by the Ministry of Agriculture of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
