HC Deb 05 August 1919 vol 119 cc191-2W
Major Sir KEITH FRASER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Agriculture whether he will consider the question of taking steps to prevent the slaughter of heifer calves, in view of the fact that the present slaughtering of them is bound to act adversely upon the food supply of the country by reducing the head of stock?

Mr. ROBERTS

I have been asked to reply. With a view to preventing the undue slaughter of calves the sale of veal in butchers' shops is now prohibited.
