HC Deb 16 February 1948 vol 447 cc151-2W
80. Mr. N. Macpherson

asked the Minister of Food whether he will give an assurance that poultry breeders in this country will receive increased allocations of feedingstuffs before any feedingstuffs contracted for by this country are diverted to other countries.

Mr. Strachey

I am afraid I cannot add to the recent broadcast statement by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, in which he said that existing ration scales for farm livestock would be at least maintained until the end of April, 1949.
