HC Deb 22 March 1951 vol 485 c328W
86. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware of the practice of leaving pigs uncovered throughout the night after delivery to the curers and slaughterers; and, in view of the suffering so caused, what action he is taking to bring this practice to an end.

Mr. Webb

My information is that this practice is not adopted either at bacon factories or Government slaughterhouses, but if my hon. Friend will let me have details of any specific case which he has in mind I will have inquiries made.

Forward to
