HC Deb 28 April 1952 vol 499 cc51-2W
61. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Health to what extent calves, which have been injected with smallpox virus from which vaccine is produced, are eventually sold to butchers for human consumption as veal.

Mr. Crookshank

So far as calves are now used at all it is by commercial makers of vaccine lymph. I am making inquiries and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as possible.
