HC Deb 20 February 1951 vol 484 c178W
106. Sir T. Moore

asked the Minister of Food what plans he has in mind for effecting an immediate improvement in the transit of cattle in Scotland in order to prevent unnecessary suffering and deterioration in the value of the meat.

Mr. F. Willey

I have made inquiries, but I can find no evidence that the arrangements made by my Department for the movement of cattle in Scotland cause unnecessary suffering to animals or lead to a deterioration in the value of the carcases. I cannot therefore accept the implication in the hon. and gallant Member's Question.
