§ Mr. Bishopasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking in the emergency to ensure adequate supplies of feeding stuffs for birds and animals at prices he considers reasonable.
§ Mr. PriorI am in constant touch with the animal feeding stuffs trade, which is making the best use of available stocks of raw materials, and with the National Farmers Union. There can be no doubt that in present circumstances farmers will be feeding stock as economically as their individual enterprises allow. I have no reason at the moment to intervene on 333W prices, but I shall continue to watch the position very closely.
