HC Deb 07 December 1922 vol 159 cc2010-1W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether, in order to enable the purchaser to obtain the meat he wants, steps will be taken to abolish the misleading ticket of home-killed meat and to designate in the butchers' shops the exact kind of meat sold; and whether provisions of this character will be inserted in the Importation of Animals Bill now before Parliament?

Sir R. SANDERS

Any proposals for legislation on the lines indicated in the hon. Member's question should be embodied in a Measure to amend the Merchandise Marks Acts. I do not think that this is a matter that could be dealt with in the Importation of Animals Bill now before Parliament.
