HC Deb 15 November 1918 vol 110 c3100
18. Sir A. SHIRLEY BENN

asked the Food Controller if there is sufficient cold storage for the quantity of frozen meat expected to arrive in the immediate future in this country?

Mr. CLYNES

Although the measures taken to accumulate supplies of imported meat for use in the early months of 1919, when supplies of home produced meat will have fallen off, will probably tax the cold storage accommodation of this country to its utmost capacity, there is no reason to anticipate that this accommodation will prove inadequate.

20. Mr. JOHN SPEAR

asked the Food Controller if, seeing there is every autumn a surplus of fat cattle over current requirements, he will take steps to maintain the lately established accommodation for chilling and freezing meat permanently in order to deal with such surplus?

Mr. CLYNES

The answer is in the affirmative.
