HC Deb 21 December 1944 vol 406 c1980W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Minister of Food in view of the scarcity of knackermeat as food for dogs and cats, whether he will set aside for the feeding of animals some of the meat condemned in markets as unfit for human consumption.

Colonel Llewellin

Meat condemned in Government slaughterhouses as unfit for human consumption is used after the necessary and proper treatment for the production of feeding stuffs for cattle, pigs and poultry, and for essential industrial purposes. A proportion of the meat meal so produced is supplied to manufacturers of dog foods. Therefore practically the whole of the condemned meat is already being used in the manner sought by my hon. Friend.
