§ 53. Sir I. Fraserasked the Minister of Agriculture what plans he has in mind for issuing additional rations for pigs and poultry so as to enable young farmers and other new entrants to this field to produce more eggs and bacon.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI have no immediate plans for additional rations for pigs and poultry other than the bonus rations which will be available this year, based on sales of eggs and pigmeat.
§ 57. Mr. Turtonasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consider granting increased allocation of feeding-stuffs to commercial pig breeders engaging to send under contract increased numbers of pigs to bacon factories.
§ Mr. T. WilliamsI regret that I cannot at present promise any further increase in rations for pigs even in the form of a larger bonus issue to those who send pigs to bacon factories.
