HC Deb 13 June 1932 vol 267 c16
33. Mr. BURNETT

asked the Minister of Agriculture the rates of salary paid to the 10 meat markers referred to in Class VI, page 82, of the Civil Estimates; and whether these meat markers have additional duties beyond the stamping of the meat when it has been graded?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The average weekly inclusive wages of the 10 meat markers are £3 3s. 8d. In addition to marking the graded beef, the markers give general assistance to the graders in wholesale meat markets and private slaughterhouses.
