§ 20. Sir W. Darlingasked the Minister of Food if he will arrange for butchers in Scotland to receive a fair share of the beef and mutton produced in Scotland; if he will investigate complaints by the Edinburgh Butchers' Association that Scotland is getting supplies of scraggy mutton that English butchers have refused to handle; and if he will see that a better allocation of fresh Scottish meat is available for Scotland.
§ Mr. WebbWe already arrange for Scotland, like other producing areas, to receive as large a share of meat from locally produced or fattened stock as is consistent with fair distribution over Great Britain as a whole; no meat refused by English butchers has been reallocated to Scotland.
