HC Deb 01 November 1948 vol 457 cc16-7W
76. Mr. Tony

asked the Minister of Food if he will make a statement on the supply of poultry which will be available this Christmas; and how does it compare with last year.

Mr. Strachey

It is too early to be precise, but we are expecting that there will be rather more poultry this Christ- mas than last. There may be rather fewer turkeys but more geese, chickens and hens.
