§ 30. Mr. Harrisonasked the Minister of Food if he will make inquiries into the dirty and careless condition in which the meat killed in this country, is packed and delivered to the retailers, and attempt to bring up the standard to that achieved by the packers and cleaners of our imported supplies.
§ Mr. StracheyI cannot accept the generalisation that all meat killed in this country is packed and delivered in a dirty and careless manner, though wartime conditions made things difficult. Improvements, however, are being made as quickly as present circumstances permit. If the hon. Member knows of any places where the arrangements for the handling and transport of meat are unsatisfactory, I should be most grateful if he would furnish me with particulars.
