HC Deb 20 June 1935 vol 303 cc549-50
49. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can say anything as to the arrangements to deal with meat production in this country; and whether it is intended to encourage canning industries?

The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Elliot)

There is nothing I can add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Kirkdale on 6th June, and to the reply given on my behalf to the right hon. Member for South Molton on 17th June. I am sending copies of these replies to my hon. and gallant Friend.

Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

Will the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that no solution can really be satisfactory for the meat industry unless low-grade cow beef is dealt with? Will he bear that in mind?

Mr. ELLIOT

I will bear it in mind.
