§ 66. Mr. Alpassasked the Minister of Food if he will take steps to discontinue the practice under which the van used for the delivery of meat to Berkeley, Gloucestershire, on Tuesdays, is used for carrying live cattle on Mondays; if he is aware that the deputy meat agent at Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, stated in a letter to the president of the Berkeley Women's Institute that, owing to the uncertainty of the position due to the proposed reorganisation of the industry, matters are not moving as quickly as is desirable; and what steps he is taking to expedite decisions.
§ Mr. StracheyI have given instructions that in future a special van should be used for the delivery of meat to butchers' shops in this area.
