§ The MINISTER of AGRICULTURE (Sir John Gilmour)My hon. Friend is no doubt aware that much is already done, both by my Department and by county councils throughout the country, to advise and assist farmers engaged in pig production for bacon; but I will bear his suggestion in mind.
§ Sir C. CAYZERHas the right hon. Gentleman's attention been called to the very valuable demonstration given by a representative of the Animal Breeding Research Department of Edinburgh, at Stirling recently, and will the right hon. Gentleman consider the possibility of arranging similar demonstrations at suitable centres in England?
§ Sir J. GILMOURYes. I am aware of those demonstrations, and I will consider the hon. Member's suggestion.
