asked the Minister of Food whether he can now make any statement as to the percentage of feeding-stuffs which poultry farmers ought to be able definitely to count on obtaining from the recognised dealers?

No, Sir. I regret that it is not possible for me to make a statement of the kind my hon. and gallant Friend suggests. The amount of feeding-stuffs that may be available for poultry keepers in the future will depend on the total supplies available and the requirements of other classes of livestock.
