§ 43. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Food the present average costs of imported and home-produced bacon, respectively.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Newbury (Mr. Hurd) on 23rd January, 1953.
§ Mr. WilleyIn view of the marked disparity between those prices, would not the right hon. and gallant Gentleman agree that it is not very business-like to discourage our Continental suppliers, and that there seems to be a case for a more realistic inquiry into home production costs?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeI do not know what the hon. Gentleman means by "discourage our Continental suppliers."
