HC Deb 26 July 1916 vol 84 cc1701-2W
Mr. W. THORNE

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the total quantity of Australian and New Zealand beef and mutton which has passed through his Department's hands and which has been condemned by the inspectors from 1st May, 1915, to 30th June, 1916?

Mr. HARCOURT

I am not able to say exactly how much Australian and New Zealand meat has been condemned, but it is an extremely small proportion of the total quantity purchased by the Board of Trade.
