HC Deb 09 March 1896 vol 38 c425
MR. C. J. ENGLEDOW (Kildare, N.)

I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture, whether he will take steps, by legislation or otherwise, to compel the seller of foreign meat to expose in a conspicuous place a notice to the effect that he is a dealer in such foreign meat?

THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE (Mr. WALTER LONG, Liverpool,) West Derby

Legislation would be necessary to give effect to the proposal of the Hon. Member, and, inasmuch as a Bill on the subject now occupies a favourable place on the Paper, it would be more convenient that the views of the Government respecting it should be explained when the Bill comes forward for discussion.
