Mr. Vaneasked the Minister of Agriculture what were the numbers of calves slaughtered in this country in the months of September, 1939, September, 1945, and September, 1946, respectively.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsThe number of calves slaughtered in England and Wales in September, 1945, was 115,024 and in September, 1946, 125,000. Figures for September, 1939, are not available, since the system of centralised purchase of calves had not then been introduced.
