HC Deb 10 July 1950 vol 477 cc944-5
58. Mr. Higgs

asked the Minister of Food what instructions are issued to those engaged in delivering meat to butchers with a view to ensuring clean handling; and whether, in view of recent complaints in this connection, he proposes to issue revised instructions.

Mr. Webb

Our instructions about the transport and handling of meat are expressly designed to ensure compliance with the Public Health (Meat) Regulations. I am arranging to send the hon. Member a copy. I think they are adequate, and my area officers and agents do everything they can to ensure that they are carried out, but if the hon. Member knows of any specific instance where they are not, and will let me have details, I shall be glad to investigate.
