§ 58. Sir Percy Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture what progress has been made with the scheme for central slaughterhouses in typical areas as provided for in the Livestock Industry Act?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to a question on the subject asked by the hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) on 9th February. I understand that the examination of the 12 proposals for the establishment of central slaughterhouses which have been submitted to the Livestock Commission is proceeding as rapidly as possible.
