§ 47. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Food if he will arrange for the Inter-Departmental Committee, which is to consider the siting and design of slaughterhouses, to take into account the desirability of providing cold storage for some of the heavy supplies of home-killed meat at the end of the grazing season.
Dr. HillExperiments in the freezing of home-killed meat are continuing, coupled with investigation into the nature and extent of the facilities required in the special conditions of this country. Such technical problems which have first to be solved cannot appropriately be considered by the Inter-Departmental Committee.
§ Mr. HurdWhile the problem of cold storage may not be an appropriate one for this Committee, will the Minister see that a proper inquiry is made into the economy of cold storing some of our home killed meat in view of the fact that we have today very heavy peaks and troughs of supply?
