§ 66. Mr. NOEL BUXTONasked the Minister of Agriculture if he can yet make a statement as to the proposed assistance to co-operative bacon factories and grading depots?
§ Major BARNSTONI have been asked to reply. It is understood that Lord Linlithgow's Committee on the Distribution and Prices of Agricultural Produce proposes to deal with the subject of co-operative bacon factories in the Report on Meat which the Committee is now considering, and my right hon. Friend thinks it will be well to await the receipt of that Report before making any statement on the subject.
§ Mr. BUXTONIs it anticipated that bacon factories will get any help under the Agricultural Credits Scheme?
§ Major BARNSTONI am afraid I cannot answer that question, but I will communicate the point to my right hon. Friend.
