HC Deb 17 December 1947 vol 445 c1703
91. Mr. John Morrison

asked the Minister of Food what percentage of whale-meat is now contained in the average sausage.

Dr. Summerskill

None, Sir.

Mr. Morrison

Is the hon. Lady aware that I have seen a factory where some is incorporated in sausages, and will she inquire into that?

Dr. Summerskill

I think the hon. Gentleman should have asked. "What is an average sausage?"

Mr. Morrison

What is it?

Dr. Summerskill

An average sausage is 50 per cent. meat. If whalemeat is incorporated alone, it would then be called a whalemeat sausage.
