HC Deb 17 July 1946 vol 425 c207W
92. Mr. Randall

asked the Minister of Food if he has considered the letter of protest from the National Utility Poultry Society concerning prepared poultry food being sent from this country to France; and whether he will state the nature of the reply he has sent to the society.

Mr. Strachey

The reply which was sent by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries drew attention to the joint announcement by the Agricultural Departments about winter rations for livestock. The export of prepared poultry food to France, to which my hon. Friend refers, was in exchange for an equivalent quantity of groundnuts.
