§ Sir J. POWERasked the Minister of Health whether he is cognisant of the recent investigations into the appliance known as the electrolethaler for the electric stupefaction of pigs before slaughter; and whether he will inquire into and report on the efficacy and suitability of the appliance in question, with particular reference to the period of unconsciousness produced by its use?
Sir H. YOUNGI have received some information about this appliance and shall be interested to receive any further reports from places where it has been tested. I have no funds at my disposal for any such inquiry as my hon. Friend suggests.
