HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 c217W
61. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Food how many regrigerator ships are still employed storing meat; and how the average cost of storing carcases in this manner compares with the average cost of storing carcases ashore.

Dr. Summerskill

Eleven refrigerated ships are now being used to store meat at an average of about 70s. per ton per calendar month, which compares with 27s. per ton for land storage.
