§ 70. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, which local authorities have made preliminary slaughterhouse plans following the Government's statement of policy in Command Paper No. 9761.
§ Mr. GodberMy right hon. Friend suggested to all local authorities in July, 1956, that pending the introduction of new legislation they might discuss with meat traders preliminary proposals for slaughterhouses in their districts. He has not required them to report to him about these proposals, but I understand that discussions have taken place or are proceeding in a good many places.
