§ 21. Captain Corfieldasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of meat intended for human consumption is not subject to inspection in England and Wales at the present time.
Mr. AmoryAll meat intended for sale for human consumption is liable to inspection. Meat from animals killed by farmers and domestic pig keepers for their own family use is not, but this is a very small proportion of the total.
§ Captain CorfieldCan my right hon. Friend say what proportion of the meat is inspected by veterinary surgeons fully qualified for the job?
Mr. AmoryNo, I am afraid I cannot give my hon. and gallant Friend that information; nor can I tell him what proportion is, in fact, inspected.
