HC Deb 15 November 1963 vol 684 c10W
Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will consider relaxing some of the obligations of the owners of small slaughterhouses, where a livelihood has been placed in jeopardy as a result of them.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

No. The obligations imposed on slaughterhouse occupiers in order to ensure humane and hygienic slaughter and the inspection of all meat are the minimum necessary to achieve these purposes.
