asked the President of the Board of Agriculture whether it may be anticipated that owing to his representations a modification of the Lamb Killing Order may be expected in the near future?

In view of the pronounced scarcity of feeding stuffs the Food Controller is prepared to issue to flock owners licences to sell lambs on their undertaking that their lambs will receive neither oats, opals, nor any other kind of concentrated feeding stuff, and that the consumption of such foods by the ewes shall not exceed a certain limited quantity.

In view of the flock-masters having to apply for licences, when will they be ready to be granted?

The change in the Order was only made this morning, and I am afraid that I am unable to answer that question.

Does that include all breeds, or only Dorsets?

All breeds.
