HC Deb 20 October 1942 vol 383 c1854W
Mr. Naylor

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what are the arrangements regarding forage allowance for horses belonging to horse-hiring establishments; whether he is aware that a large proportion of the horses are hired for the use of juveniles; and, in order to conserve supplies, will he take steps to prevent or discourage the use of horses for luxury riding?

Mr. Mabane

Rationed feeding-stuffs are not allowed for horses kept in horse-hiring establishments for pleasure riding. My Noble Friend sees no occasion at present for prohibiting the supply of un-rationed feeding-stuffs for such horses.
