§ 41. Brigadier Medlicottasked the Minister of Food what progress is being made towards the provision of a new bacon factory in the County of Norfolk.
§ The Minister of Food (Major Lloyd George)No application to build a bacon factory in Norfolk has been made to my Department.
§ Brigadier MedlicottIs my hon. and gallant Friend aware that a large proportion of the pigs produced in Norfolk have 23 to be sent to Birmingham for slaughter and that a factory within the county would effect many economies in time and money? Would he give general support to a project laid before him?
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeThe Ministry neither builds nor owns bacon factories but if any application for a licence were made to me I should naturally look into it.
