HC Deb 05 November 1969 vol 790 cc125-6W
Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will initiate a study to ascertain the difference in the nutritional value of beef reared in the traditional manner and that produced in intensive feed-lots.

Mr. Hov

No. An investigation was made in 1965 on the nutritional value of beef from extensively and intensively reared animals and the results which have been published do not suggest that the work needs to be repeated.
