HC Deb 30 November 1925 vol 188 cc1854-5W
Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the Eaton Bray Rural District Council, at their meeting on the 12th September last, decided to allow the carcass of a cow, deemed to be suffering from tuberculosis, to be boiled; and will he consider legislation with a view to the destruction of all condemned carcasses?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

I am aware of the decision of the rural district council, but I have no reason to suppose that the boiled meat was sold for human consumption. Having regard to the economic value of unsound meat for such industrial purposes as soap boiling or pig or poultry feeding, I should not be prepared to introduce legislation requiring the destruction of all condemned carcasses.
