§ Mr. T. Reidasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will recommend to Colonial Governments that they place before Colonial Legislatures the problem of establishing a system of humane killing of animals for human food.
Mr. DugdaleThis is a problem of which Colonial Governments are already well aware and much is being done to introduce improved methods. Nevertheless I will consider sending out a despatch emphasising the importance which we attach to the introduction wherever possible of a system of humane slaughter.
