HC Deb 27 March 1950 vol 473 cc19-20
16. Mr. George Thomas

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of complaints from Cardiff butchers concerning the quantity of low grade meat allocated to them for distribution; and whether he will make a statement.

37. Mr. Arbuthnot

asked the Minister of Food what action he proposes to take to allay the discontent caused in the Dover area by the indifferent quality of meat being made available to the butchers.

Mr. Webb

The proportion of home-killed and imported meat issued in Cardiff and in Dover recently compares quite well with the proportion in the rest of the south-western and south-eastern areas respectively. But I have asked for a special report in both cases, and will write to both the hon. Gentlemen as soon as I have considered it.
