HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 c182W
63. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that five people died and more than 1,000 were taken ill as a result of eating meat pies in north-west Lancashire; and what action is being taken to prevent a recurrence of these events.

Mr. Iain Macleod

Yes. My Department has published a full report on this; the report contains a number of recommendations which I hope will be helpful in ensuring the safety of meat pies.
