§ 22. Mr. Skeffington-Lodgeasked the Minister of Food what is the practice of his Department in administering the words undue hardship, which, under Section 3 of circular LLP dealing with pig slaughtering, exempt pig keepers from taking their animals to a depot under his control.
§ Mr. StracheyWe do not ask pig keepers to take their pigs more than five miles; and transport difficulties due, for instance, to had weather, are taken into consideration.
§ Mr. Skeffington-LodgeIn particular cases, where farmers are gravely inconvenienced, will my right hon. Friend see whether undue hardship is not a factor, so that they may have their pigs killed on the spot if they so desire? There are such cases in my constituency.
§ Mr. StracheyPerhaps my hon. Friend will give me particulars.
