asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he has any scheme to permit the sale of bakers' and millers' sweepings, offals and unsaleable bread to greyhound owners and trainers; and if he will give favourable consideration to the matter, in view of the fact that the export trade of greyhounds to Great Britain is worth £1,000,000 annually and that a market is now being opened for the export of greyhounds to France and America.

Millers' sweepings are normally disposed of by being mixed in with mill offals the distribution of which is regulated by the Minister for Agriculture. The quantities of bread unfit for human consumption are necessarily limited and arrangements are being made to issue permits to bakers to legalise the disposal of such bread for purposes other than human consumption.
