HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 cc213-4W
Mr. Baldwin

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the Report of the Inter-departmental Committee on Slaughterhouses will be published.

Mr. Amory

The Report is being published today and copies will be available in the Vote Office early this afternoon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Roscoe Herbert and his colleagues for the way in which they have carried out a difficult task. I propose to seek the views of the national organisations representing local authorities, meat traders and other interests concerned and will consider their views before taking decisions on the various recommendations in the Report.
