HC Deb 11 June 1931 vol 253 cc1193-4
55. Sir CHARLES CAYZER

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the growing amount of carton meat imported into this country; whether he has considered the representations made with regard to the danger to public health involved by the consumption of such meat, in view of the difficulties in the way of adequate inspection; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I have no information with regard to the amount of carton meat at present imported into this country. I have received representations with regard to this meat, and I am considering them in conjunction with certain other questions relating to the control of imported meat under the Public Health (Imported Food) Regulations. I am not yet, however, in a position to give a decision.
