HC Deb 30 July 1925 vol 187 cc652-3W
Captain BOWYER

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that inspectors in some cases have ordered the words "Registered Slaughter-house" to be publicly exhibited over each slaughterhouse; is this in accordance with the Ministry's instructions; and by what authority is it done?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

Section 170 of the Public Health Act, 1875, requires the words "Licensed Slaughter-house" or "Registered Slaughter-house," as the case may be, to be exhibited in some conspicuous place on every slaughterhouse. The Section is enforced by sanitary authorities and not by my Department.
