Mr. M. WILSONasked the Minister of Health whether any action has been taken, and whether any legislation is contemplated, following upon the Report of the Departmental Committee on Meat Inspection?
§ Sir A. MONDYes, Sir. Steps have been and are being taken to carry out such of the recommendations of this Committee as can be dealt with under existing powers. I will send my hon. Friend a copy of a circular already issued. Other matters are being dealt with by Regulations in course of being1526W drafted, and I will send my hon. Friend copies in due course. In the present state of Parliamentary business I am afraid that it will not be possible to give effect to those recommendations of the Committee which require furl her legislation.
