§ Sir Richard Glynasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many cases of food poisoning in the year to the last convenient date have been proved to be caused by knacker's meat; and in how many of these cases food inspectors found that the existing regulations had been complied with in every detail.
§ Mr. CrossmanThe causal agent is discovered in about 80 per cent. of food poisoning incidents. But only a small proportion can be traced to particular vehicles of infection. However, in 1967 8 cases were attributed to knacker meat.
