HC Deb 05 February 1962 vol 653 c1W
Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he will introduce meat inspection Regulations in England similar to those now operating in Scotland in which provision is made both for ante-mortem and post-mortem inspection of animals intended for slaughter for human consumption.

Mr. Vane

It is my right hon. Friend's intention to make Regulations as soon as he can to secure 100 per cent. post-mortem inspection. He does of course recognise that ante-mortem inspection must be one of the objectives of future policy.
