The Minister of Food, in Circular MF. 10/54, drew the attention of local
authorities to the fact that the Ministry would cease to be responsible for the
slaughter of animals and, therefore, private slaughtering could recommence on the
2nd July.
Licences were current in respect of the following private slaughter-houses but
the Council decided not to renew them after October this year. Accordingly
slaughtering at these premises was not permissible after expiration of the licences :—
