HC Deb 20 October 1953 vol 518 c1798
38. Captain Duncan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the Committee he set up to investigate the siting of slaughterhouses in Scotland has yet reported; and what recommendations it has made.

The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. James Stuart)

The Committee are still receiving written evidence from interested organisations and are in course of taking oral evidence from those who have submitted written statements. It is not yet possible to say when the Committee's report may be expected

Captain Duncan

Is not my right hon. Friend aware of the urgency of this matter, and could he have a word with the Committee with a view to hurrying up their procedure?

Mr. Stuart

I think they are making good progress.
