Small Poultry Farmers

49.

Mr. E. P. Smith
asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will give an assurance that, after the war, everything possible will be done to re-establish the small poultry farmer as an agricultural unit in this country?

Mr. Hudson
I cannot at present make any statement as to the position of particular classes of farmers after the war.

Mr. Smith
Will my right hon. Friend bear in mind that the poultry farmers suffer very badly as a result of the war, in comparison to other branches of agriculture? Will he bear this particular branch of agriculture in mind?
