§ 21. Mr. Mott-Radclyffeasked the Minister of Food whether he will inquire into the methods adopted by his Department for conveying meat between central slaughterhouse and butcher's shops in the town of Maidenhead; and what steps he is taking to improve the cleanliness of the vans so used.
§ Dr. SummerskillWe had already arranged for these vans to be overhauled, and made more up-to-date. The necessity for cleanliness is constantly impressed on all connected with the distribution of meat.
§ Mr. Mott-RadclyffeIn making those arrangements will the right hon. Lady ensure that there will be facilities for 1714 hanging the carcases in the vans and that they will no longer be kicked about on the floor by men in dirty boots?
§ Dr. SummerskillThat is what we are trying to do with these vehicles—to arrange that all meat will be hung in future.
