HC Deb 07 February 1966 vol 724 cc5-6W
14. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that no suspect corned beef is now on sale to the public; and if he will make a statement.

18. Mr. John Hynd

asked the Minister of Health what action was taken by his Department, and at what stage, to ensure that stocks of corned beef from Establishment Argentina 1819 were not sold to the public.

Mr. K. Robinson

I have no evidence that any is on sale, and would refer my hon. Friends to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Huddersfield, West (Mr. Lomas) on 26th January, 1966, by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food. Advice to withhold meat from Establishment 1819 was originally given in June, 1964, and confirmed in December, 1964.
