HC Deb 23 October 1950 vol 478 c303W
109. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Minister of Food whether he will now arrange that tickets shall be attached to all meat on sale in butcher's shops stating its grade and price.

Mr. F. Willey

My right hon. Friend hopes to have an early opportunity of discussing this question with representatives of the National Federation of Meat Traders' Associations. Our reports indicate the use of price tickets is gradually becoming more widespread and I hope that the example already set will be followed wherever possible. A price ticket read in conjunction with the price list which the butcher is obliged to exhibit should be sufficient to indicate the grade of the meat.
