HC Deb 23 April 1947 vol 436 c110W
60. Mrs. Ridealgh

asked the Minister of Food to what extent the large number of cattle which died due to exposure in the recent cold weather were fit for human consumption; and how many of the carcases were sent to market to be sold in the usual way.

Mr. Strachey

Unfortunately, only slaughtered animals are fit for human consumption, and none of those which died of exposure could be used in this way.
