§ 29. Commander Scott-Millerasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of meat graders he employs in the County of Norfolk; how many markets they serve; and the greatest number of graders employed at any one market.
Mr. AmoryFive full-time fatstock graders are employed in Norfolk, covering nineteen markets. The greatest number of fatstock graders at any market is three.
§ Commander Scott-MillerIs my right hon. Friend satisfied that there are sufficient graders to meet the needs of the markets? Can he say whether these men are playing an important part in marketing and are being of assistance to the industry?
Mr. AmoryMy answer would be in present circumstances, "Yes, I am satisfied", but the whole question of the use of graders, their functions and numbers will be reviewed by me now as a consequence of the termination of the individual gurantee.
