§ 18. Mr. Thornton-Kemsleyasked the Minister of Food what arrangements he proposes for the reopening of suitable private slaughter houses to facilitate the handling and conditioning of the anticipated extra cattle and sheep during the peak kill.
§ Mr. WebbThis problem will be considered by the seven area advisory committees which have been set up to advise about these Autumn arrangements. These committees represent the meat trade, the farmers' unions and the slaughtering industry. I am confident they will provide adequate plans.
§ Mr. Thornton-KemsleyDoes the Minister expect to receive proposals from these bodies very shortly?
