HC Deb 01 December 1931 vol 260 c944
105. Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

asked the Minister of Health the number of local authorities which have adopted the Ministry's model by-laws 9a and 9b, respectively, in regard to the slaughter of animals?

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Sir Hilton Young)

The numbers are: model by-law 9(a), 145; and model by-law 9(b), 416.

Lieut.-Colonel MOORE

Has my right hon. Friend any information as to how the model by-laws are actually working in the various parts of the country?

Sir H. YOUNG

I have no information to the effect that they are working ill. Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will put down a question.
