asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware of the number of race meetings advertised to take place in the coming months; that such meetings are causing misgiving in the public mind that corn rations used for race-horses may be needed for human food; whether he proposes to take any action in the matter?

I cannot usefully add anything to the reply which was given by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food to a similar question by my right hon. Friend on the 16th of January, and to the various answers which I gave to the supplementary questions following.

Is it not the intention of the Government to reconsider this matter?

The subject has not been brought before the Cabinet in any way. I shall bring what has been said by my right hon. Friend and others to the notice of the Cabinet.
