29. Mr. HALL-CAINE

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps have been taken by the Bacon Marketing Board since its inception to increase the export trade in British bacon products?

Mr. ELLIOT

Owing to the conditions obtaining in overseas markets since the Bacon Marketing Scheme came into operation, the board have not been able to increase the export trade in British bacon.

Mr. ALEXANDER

Will the right hon. Gentleman confine his attention to supplying enough bacon for the home market at reasonable prices?

Mr. ELLIOT

We are concentrating on that at present.
