HC Deb 15 November 1918 vol 110 cc3099-100
17. Sir A. SHIRLEY BENN

asked the Food Controller if he has considered the advisability of killing and salting down in the old-fashioned way a number of the fat cattle now waiting their turn to be slaughtered and losing daily in weight and condition?

Mr. CLYNES

The measure suggested in the question has already been adopted, though the quantity of beef salted has been limited by the difficulty of securing the necessary casks and the additional slaughtermen required.
