AUSTRALIAN MEAT.

QUESTION OF DISEASE.

London, March 14

Discussing the Army Estimates in the House of Commons, Mr. Rowland Hunt (Unionist) asked whether the War Office orders for Australian meat had been reduced because the meat was infested with a parasitic worm.

Colonel Seely, Secretary of State for War, replied that it was found necessary to excise a portion of each carcase to make sure that a parasite was not present. This applied to all meat imported from Australia.
