HC Deb 08 November 1948 vol 457 cc151-2W
51. Colonel Stoddart-Scott

asked the Minister of Agriculture if in view of the fact that pig and poultry feedingstuffs are in some cases still based upon the number of animals kept in 1939, he will now reconsider this system and base rationing on the head of stock kept at the time of application.

Mr. G. Brown

No. My right hon. Friend explained in the statement he made on 20th July last why it would not be practicable to give rations on the basis of the actual numbers of stock kept.
