HC Deb 26 February 1935 vol 298 c936
32. Mr. LEONARD

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether any new arrangements in connection with the quantitative regulation of imports of bacon, hams, and pork from foreign countries have yet been made after negotiations with the Bacon Marketing Board?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The arrangement contemplated by paragraph 7 (b) of the Bacon (Import Regulation) Order, 1934, has been revised this year in consultation with the Bacon Marketing Board and the representatives of foreign Governments. As from 1st January, imports of bacon (as defined in the Order) from the five main foreign exporting countries are regulated on the basis of fortnightly periods, instead of on the basis of four weekly periods.
