§ Sir W. Smilesasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that no new poultry houses are available in Northern Ireland, also no timber for repairing old poultry houses; and if he will make arrangements to release some timber for repairing poultry houses in Northern Ireland.
§ Sir S. CrippsI am not aware that no new poultry houses are available in Northern Ireland. Timber is in short supply and it is necessary to ensure that the available quantities are used to the greatest possible advantage. A limited quarterly allocation of timber is at the disposal of the Government of Northern Ireland, and essential requirements for the construction and repair of poultry houses fall to be met out of this allocation.
