HC Deb 26 July 1950 vol 478 c73W
110. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies to what extent humane methods of slaughtering cattle are being employed in the Colonial areas; and what consideration has been given in promoting such more humane methods as are being or have been adopted in this country.

Mr. J. Griffiths

This is a matter to which Colonial Governments have devoted much attention. Several territories have made experiments with a view to adopting improved methods and I recently inquired to what extent they were proving successful. In the light of the experience gained I shall consider addressing Colonial Governments generally on the matter.
