§ 75. Mr. Hurdasked the Minister of Food what progress is being made in providing adequate slaughtering facilities when the butchering trade is returned to private hands in July.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeAll local authorities have been asked to consult organisations representing farmers and meat traders in their districts to ascertain what slaughtering facilities will be needed on decontrol. In view of the urgency of the problem I have discussed with representatives of the associations of local authorities the special measures which have to be taken for the licensing and provision of slaughterhouses, and I am shortly sending a general letter of guidance to all local authorities.
