HC Deb 18 October 1950 vol 478 c250W
70. Brigadier Thorp

asked the Minister of Food what quantity of Australian rabbits are still stored by his Department; and if he will guarantee that no more will be imported.

Mr. Webb

I cannot, for reasons which I am sure hon. Members opposite will appreciate, give details of my Department's stocks. I said in reply to the hon. Member for Abingdon (Sir R. Glyn) on 21st June that we are placing no further orders for Australian rabbits. They may, however, be imported privately under open general licence.
