21. Mr. Vaneasked the Minister of Food what proportion of the total pigmeat consumed in this country during 1954, or other recent convenient period of 12 months, was home-produced and what proportion was imported from the Commonwealth, Denmark or Poland, respectively; and what change he expects that there will be in these proportions during the current year.
Mr. AmoryIn 1954 about 62 per cent. was home-produced, 1 per cent. was imported from the Commonwealth, 25 per cent. from Denmark and 5 per cent. from 810 Poland. I see no reason for expecting any substantial change in these proportions during 1955.
Mr. VaneCan my hon. Friend say whether it is a fair assumption that the small proportion imported from Poland could not possibly have any effect on the market either on demand or on price?
