HC Deb 05 August 1918 vol 109 cc898-9
35. Sir JOHN SPEAR

asked the Food Controller if he is aware that 1,264 lbs. of Government frozen beef sent to Buckfastleigh last week were condemned and destroyed and that since 21st June 3,000 lbs. have been so dealt with in this town; will he inquire of the executive officer the cause of this loss; is he aware that there is a danger of the Food Committee resigning unless good meat is sent; and will he provide that the meat sent in future shall be fit for consumption?

Major ASTOR

I may refer to the answer given to the hon. Member on this point last Thursday. I can only add that-all possible care is being taken to ensure sound quality and condition in supplies of frozen beef.

Forward to
