§ 18. Mr. Snaddenasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is aware that the 1507 railway company at Killin, Perthshire, refuses to accept deer carcases for transportation by passenger train unless they are skinned, cut up and wrapped in hessian cloth; that such a condition is impossible of execution in view of shortage of labour and the arduous nature of the stalker's task; and will he take steps to avoid waste of wholesome food of which our cities and towns are so much in need?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerThe restriction placed on the carriage of deer carcases in passenger brake vans was due to the verminous condition of these carcases. I am considering whether some means can be found of overcoming the difficulty.
