HC Deb 16 May 1972 vol 837 c46W
31. Mr. Strang

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the contributions which the cow-heifer could make to British beef supplies; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Mills

My right hon. Friend does not consider that the cow-heifer system of beef production would be likely to help significantly in the expansion of beef supplies.
