HC Deb 17 June 1964 vol 696 cc192-3W
70. Mr. Manuel

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will destroy all Government-held stocks of corned beef in Scotland, manufactured before the chlorinated water-cooling process had been adopted.

Mr. Soames

No; the question of destroying Government stocks would arise only if there were evidence either from the inquiry into the cause of the Aberdeen outbreak or from any other source that they constituted a risk to public health.
