§ 31. Mr. Nicholas Wintertonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his policy for ensuring that constant standards of inspection and control of meat are maintained in premises supplying meat not destined for human consumption.
§ Mrs. FennerLocal authorities are responsible for enforcing the Meat (Sterilization) Regulations 1969 which control the disposal of meat that is unfit for human consumption. Strict enforcement of these regulations is clearly important.
In order to improve the effectiveness of the controls, it is proposed to lay before Parliament shortly new regulations that will tighten up the existing legislation on unfit meat.
