HC Deb 15 July 1953 vol 517 cc169-70W
79. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Food if he is aware that representatives of the butchers are expressing concern over his latest order that from 6th July they must take 5 per cent. of ewe mutton with their supplies; and whether he will arrange to meet representatives of the meat trade to discuss this difficulty.

Dr. Hill

I would refer to the full statement I made on these matters in the course of the debate in the House on Wednesday, 8th July.
