HC Deb 13 May 1909 vol 4 c2144W
Mr. STARKEY

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether he is aware that a seizure of foreign imported meat has been made by the authorities at Grimsby, and that it included the tuberculous carcasses of pigs and other meat in a state of fermentation; and, seeing that some of the crates bore the guarantee of a foreign Government that the meat was sound and fit for human consumption, whether he will say what action he proposes to take?

Mr. BURNS

I am aware that there has been a seizure of imported foreign meat at Grimsby, and I am making inquiry with regard to the matter.
