§ Mr. Clark Hutchisonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) whether he will make regulations about staining and sterilisation of meat similar to those contemplated for England and Wales;
(2) what representations he has received from Scottish local authorities about staining and sterilisation of meat; and what reply he has sent;
(3) if he will publish a list of his regulations concerning staining and sterilisation of meat which apply to Scotland, and of his proposals for amendment to them.
§ Mr. RossThere are no regulations concerning the staining and sterilisation of meat which apply to Scotland, and I have received no representations on this 237W subject from local authorities. I propose to consider the need for such regulations in the light of the comments received on the proposed English (amending) regulations.
