DOMINION MEAT
FOR BRITISH SERVICES. FUTURE USE ASSURED. LAST YEAR’S CONSUMPTION. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received February 12, 12.0 noon. LONDON, Feb. 11. In the House of Commons, Mr A. Duff-Cooper said that just over £400,000 was spent last year on the purchase of Dominion frozen meat for the Army and Air Force at Home and £2OOO on the purchase of fresh meat. The extra cost of supplying home-killed instead of Dominion meat was estimated at about £350,000 a year, which, apart from the administrative difficulties, was prohibitive as far as the Army fund« were concerned.
