HC Deb 10 December 1958 vol 597 c88W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what record he has of the results obtained from his Department's graders marking or labelling their carcases that are so treated.

Mr. Godber

The following table shows for the thirteen weeks ended 2nd November how many cattle and sheep were certified at deadweight certification centres in the United Kingdom; how many carcases were graded under the commercial grading service provided by the Agricultural Departments, at the request of the traders who presented the stock; and the grading results.

advances would not in most cases give the small farmers sufficient help and encouragement to make the necessary changes in their farm practice and management.
