HC Deb 07 February 1958 vol 581 cc213-4W
Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what quantity of meat passing through slaughterhouses was condemned as unfit for human consumption in the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Godber

Since decontrol in 1954, no precise statistics have been available. The quantity in the financial year 1953–54 was 7,279 tons, excluding condemnations at bacon factories of which there are no statistics.
