§ 43. Mr. LIDDALLasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware of the great possibilities of the pigs marketing scheme in Lincolnshire providing that a bacon factory is erected in that county; and will he recommend the Bacon Development Board to grant a licence for the erection of such a factory in what is the second largest county in England?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Ramsbotham)In a reply given yesterday to a question by my hon. Friend, my right hon. Friend indicated the position with regard to the establishment of a bacon factory in Lincolnshire. There is nothing I can usefully add to that answer.
§ Mr. LIDDALLIs the hon. Gentleman aware that the Bacon Development Board will come to a decision to-morrow and that the success of the Pigs Marketing Scheme of the Government largely depends upon whether a bacon factory is erected in the second largest county in England?
§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMIf the decision of the Bacon Development Board tomorrow is not satisfactory to the applicants, they will have the right to go to arbitration.
