Animals (Slaughter)

Mr. HANCOCK
asked the Minister of Health whether he can give the names of all local authorities which have adopted Clause 90 of the Ministry of Health bye-laws?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
I assume that the model bye-law to which the hon.  Member refers is that which requires the use of a mechanical stunning instrument in the slaughter of animals. I am sending the hon. Member a list of the 73 local authorities who have adopted the bye-law in question.
