HC Deb 15 November 1948 vol 458 cc4-5W
68. Mr. Jeger

asked the Minister of Food what steps he is taking to remedy the unsatisfactory conditions at the abattoir at Winchester.

Dr. Summerskill

As stated in the letter I sent to my hon. Friend on 8th November, we have recently reduced slaughterings at these premises to a level below the limit that had previously been agreed with the Local Authority. This will remove congestion and should go a long way towards improving the general conditions.
