HC Deb 27 January 1954 vol 522 cc242-3W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Food (1) what steps he has taken to satisfy himself that there is enough man- power available to handle the slaughtering of livestock in Kent if the meat marketing scheme is implemented;

(2) if he is satisfied that there are enough appropriately placed and adequately equipped approved slaughterhouses to make the Government's plan for fatstock economically workable in the county of Kent.

Major Lloyd George

The Interdepartmental Committee on Slaughterhouses has made recommendations in an Interim Report about the procedure for assessing and reviewing the slaughtering requirements and facilities of each district on the decontrol of meat and livestock. This Report is to be published later this week.
