HC Deb 25 February 1907 vol 169 c1262
MR. WATT

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if his attention has been called to the facts that about 100 tons of boned-out pork are imported every week into Scotland from Ireland; that this pork is not inspected in Ireland, and it is not possible to inspect it in Scotland on account of the absence of the internal organs, the bones, and trunk lymphatic glands; and if he will see that in future all carcases and organs of swine slaughtered in Ireland for export to Scotland will be inspected in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal Commission, 1898, or prevented from being sold for human food.

MR. SINCLAIR

The matter referred to by my hon. friend seems rather to fall within the province of the Irish Local Government Board, whose attention is being called to the question.
