asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food what steps he took when appointing the Meat Commission to assure him self that no member of that Commission held any financial interest in the American Meat Trust?

It is not clear to what body the hon. Baronet refers, as there is no such body as the Meat Commission. I can, however, assure the hon. Baronet that no member of the staff of the Ministry of Food has any financial interest in the American Meat Trust.
