HC Deb 10 March 1910 vol 14 c1791W
Mr. FELL

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he can state what has become of the shipments of Chinese pork which were refused permission to be landed in London; and if he has any official information showing that these shipments are to be sent to the Isle of Man to be cured there into bacon and then shipped to England?

Mr. BURNS

I am informed that the pork brought to London by the "Graf Muravjef" has been brought by sea to Liverpool. Some of it can, I understand, be landed subject to inspection by the medical officer of health. The remainder, not complying with the Foreign Meat Regulations, will have to be re-exported. I have no official information as to its being sent to the Isle of Man to be cured into bacon and retransmitted to England.
