HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 cc303-4W
118. Mr. P. Roberts

asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the unfair discrimination in the use of bacon factory residuals by the bacon factories themselves, the majority of which did not deal with these products before the war, he will arrange for a better allocation of these residuals to pork butchers.

Mr. F. Willey

These offals are highly perishable and I am satisfied that the present arrangements are the best practicable. Any attempt to spread supplies more widely would increase the risk of loss through deterioration.
