§ 57. Lieut.-Colonel Corbettasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will state the minimum ration of feeding stuffs that will be available to farmers next winter.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsRation scales next winter will depend on the total supplies of feeding stuffs available, and while I expect an improvement in supplies of cereal feeding stuffs in the latter half of this year, I cannot yet estimate its extent. I would refer the hon. Member to my reply on 17th February to my hon. Friend the Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge), which contained a general statement on feeding stuffs supply prospects in the next few years.
