Tinned Meat (Horseflesh)

HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 c763

20. Mr. Gerald Williams

asked the Minister of Food if any meat bought in tins for human consumption contains horseflesh

Mr. Strachey

No, Sir.

Mr. Williams

Will the Minister give an assurance that this policy will continue, and that if it does not owing to difficulty of obtaining other meat, he will label horsemeat as such?

Mr. Strachey

Yes, Sir.
