§ Mr. Nellistasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will estimate the cost of his Department's competition for the finding of a name for the china sheep recently sent to agricultural correspondents; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. JoplingNo costs other than the cost of postage were incurred by my Department. The 60 miniature china sheep sent to agricultural journalists were all generously donated by their British manufacturer. All other costs of the competition are being borne by a major British manufacturer in the animal health sector.
