HC Deb 10 July 1939 vol 349 c1802
53. Mr. Hannah

asked the Minister-of Agriculture whether arrangements can be made for the Pig Marketing Board to deliver hogs to the bacon-curers regularly in the numbers actually needed through out the year?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

Questions relating to the supply of pigs to bacon factories are primarily for the industry itself to consider under the powers which Parliament has conferred by the Bacon Industry Acts. I have no power to intervene.

Mr. Hannah

Is my right hon. and gallant Friend aware that the Bilston curers are frightfully dissatisfied with the irregularity with which the pigs are sent?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

I realise that.
