§ 56. Mr. T. Williamsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether any scheme or schemes for the establishment of experimental slaughter-houses have yet been approved under the Livestock Industry Act; and, if so, what areas are covered by the schemes?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 24th February to my hon. Friend the Member for East Dorset (Mr. Hall-Caine).
§ Mr. WilliamsDoes the Minister anticipate that these schemes will be produced?
§ Mr. MorrisonInquiries have been made and preliminary negotiations are going on, but I am not yet in a position to say that any scheme has been formally put before the Commission.
§ Mr. WilliamsDoes the Minister feel, as the result of his present experience, that there is any real trouble with regard to the financial proposals?
§ Mr. MorrisonNo, Sir.
