HC Deb 17 March 1910 vol 15 cc529-30
Mr. FELL

asked if the Chinese pork which was rejected in London and rejected again at Liverpool would be again inspected if it was attempted to be landed after it had been cured as bacon at some foreign port or in the Isle of Man; and why the pork was not ordered "to be destroyed when it was first rejected at London?

Mr. BURNS

The consignment in question will be liable to inspection if re-imported into England. As regards the second part of the question, I may explain that the Regulations do not require that the meat should be destroyed. The importer is allowed the option of re-exporting it.
