Sausages (Meat Content)

HC Deb 18 December 1961 vol 651 cc113-4W

Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will introduce legislation requiring that the meat content of sausages shall not fall below 65 per cent., and that the actual content shall be displayed on the container or wrapper in which they are sold.

Mr. Vane

It is not my right hon. Friend's present intention to lay down a standard for the meat content of sausages or to require wrappers or containers to carry a note of the actual meat content.
