It also discusses the percentage of beef being canned for the armed services. The coincides with the enactment of the National Emergency Regulations and the Commonwealth Meat Controller. There were some compulsory acquisitions of beef for the canning industry. This was to ensure the greatest possible amount was available for the Armed Forces and for export to the United Kingdom.The report also discusses the new staff facilities, and the use of vehicles.
