Colonel Sir F. HALLasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he is aware that London butchers are still having allotted to them old cow meat which, in pre-war days, would have been condemned as unfit for human consumption, and that in many cases London butchers are having delivered to them meat of inferior quality which is practically nothing but skin and bone; will he say on what grounds such meat is imported, seeing that there is no nutriment in it; and whether, considering the price that is demanded by the butchers in consequence of the cost to them, he will preclude altogether the importation into this country of such inferior meat?
§ Major ASTORThe answer to this question was printed in last Thursday's OFFICIAL REPORT.
