§ Captain Pluggeasked the Minister of Agriculture, whether he can state the nature of the representations made to him indicating what would be an attractive price to stimulate pig production and the figure suggested?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithIt has been suggested to me by the Pigs Marketing Board that the price formula in Sections802W 26 and 27 of the Bacon Industry Act should be amended to link a price of 12s. 6d. per score for a standard pig with a ration price of 7s. 6d. per cwt. I think it probable that it was in the minds of the Board that such a formula would stimulate pig production.
