HC Deb 12 March 1925 vol 181 cc1513-4
79. Mr. ROY WILSON

asked the Minister of Health whether he will introduce a Bill to provide for the use in every slaughter-house in the country of the mechanically-operated humane killer, and to prohibit slaughter by any other means?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I do not see my way to introduce the suggested legislation. Local authorities already possess the power to make bye-laws requiring the use of a humane killer.
