HC Deb 04 April 1935 vol 300 c514
22. Mr. LAMBERT

asked the Minister of Health whether his Department has made investigation as to the nutritive values of home-grown, chilled, and frozen meat and, if so, what results have been disclosed?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

No such investigation has been made by my Department.

Mr. LAMBERT

Cannot such an investigation be made by the Health Ministry?

Mr. SHAKESPEARE

Of course, it could be made, but I would like to discuss with my right hon. Friend whether it is worth while making it.

Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

Is it not a fact that investigations made by outside bodies show that home-killed meat is superior?

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Does it not all depend on the particular animal from which the meat is obtained?
