HC Deb 09 November 1926 vol 199 cc855-6
6. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that, in contravention of the clean meat Regulations, meat is being displayed for sale in many parts of London on counters grouped on pavements in front of butchers' shops, and that such meat is not shielded from the street dust; and whether he proposes to take any action in this matter?

Sir K. WOOD

My right hon. Friend has been asked to reply to this question. He has no information as to the conditions mentioned. The enforcement of the Regulations in London is in the hands of the borough councils, and if my hon. Friend will give any instances in which it is alleged that the Regulations are being contravened, my right hon. Friend will communicate with the council concerned.

Mr. MARCH

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that you want an inspector at every one of the stalls in the streets of London to safeguard this?

Forward to
