Mr. Woodasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has received representations with regard to the anxiety felt by small bacon curers at the possibility of their elimination from the industry owing to the new proposals for marketing; and whether he will ensure that the fullest consideration is given to the claims of the smaller men in the industry, especially where they have carried on operations for many years?
§ Mr. W. S. MorrisonI have received representations on this subject and I can assure my hon. Friend that the Secretary of State for Scotland and I will give the fullest consideration to the position of the smaller bacon curers before arriving at any conclusions with regard to the future organisation of the bacon industry.
