HC Deb 18 October 1950 vol 478 c247W
62. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food to what extent owing to the restriction of slaughtering facilities still in force, it has been necessary to refuse fat lambs and cattle offered by farmers in the past two months.

Mr. Webb

No fatstock have been refused in the past two months, though to avoid congestion in the markets we have in some cases delayed grading for a day or two.
