HC Deb 18 July 1955 vol 544 c9
21. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has now received the Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee on Slaughterhouses; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nugent

No, Sir. But I am informed that my right hon. Friend will receive it this week.

Mr. Willey

In view of the rather unexpected delay in receiving the Report, can the Parliamentary Secretary give an assurance that the Government will deal with this as expeditiously as possible?

Mr. Nugent

Yes, we certainly will and, if it is at all possible, we will get it published before the House rises.
