HC Deb 14 July 1952 vol 503 cc130-1W
Mr. F. Wiley

asked the Minister of Food what amount of home-killed meat is being frozen and stored this year.

Major Lloyd George

We are freezing small quantities of pork from week to week so as to facilitate distribution from areas where there is a surplus to areas where there is a demand, but none has yet been frozen for long-term storage.

In the autumn when home killings may exceed current ration requirements for a time we hope to freeze and store small quantities experimentally. The quantities are in any event limited by cold storage space and other factors.
