HC Deb 09 April 1951 vol 486 cc646-7
35. Sir John Mellor

asked the Minister of Food the minimum meat content required in beef sausages, assuming maxi mum amounts of vegetable fat and milk powder are substituted for meat in accordance with Statutory Instrument, 1951, No. 314.

Mr. F. Willey

It is 4.4 ounces per pound.

Sir J. Mellor

Will the Parliamentary Secretary give the answer as a percentage as it appears that the 40 per cent. shown in the explanatory note is totally inadequate?

Mr. Willey

No, Sir. The hon. Member is confused. There is no direct relationship between the two figures.
