§ 32. Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is now in a position to state what percentage of British bacon is tank cured?
§ Mr. ELLIOTThe Bacon Marketing Board have no information as to the proportion of tank-cured bacon to total output. Replies to a questionnaire issued by the board last year to registered curers indicate, however, that the tank curing capacity of the bacon factories in Great Britain has more than doubled since 1931.
§ Mr. BARCLAY-HARVEYWill my right hon. Friend consider the necessity of getting the information?
§ Mr. ELLIOTYes, I will consider that.
