GRADED MEAT PRICES
SUBSTANTIAL MARGINS (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. Where there is meat rationing there should also be meat grading, contended Miss Howard (Govt., Christchurch East) in her speech in the Address-in-Reply debate in the House of Representatives yesterday. Miss Howard said the meat rationing scheme was a good one, and as the owner of a family of animals, she was gratified that pets were so wonderfully provided for.
However, she added, women wanted to know that when they paid top prices they were getting first grade meat, and there was a widespread feeling that the grading system, as operating in Wellington should be extended. People in Wellington paid second grade prices for second grade meat, and these according to the price order were 20 per cent less than the prices for first grade. Similarly, third grade Drice=were 20 per cent less than second
The Minister of Suply, Mr. Sullivan, had asked the women to become voluntary inspectors for the Price Tribunal, continued Miss Howard tw* ey COul 3- not d 0 that unless there was grading.
