HC Deb 08 November 1950 vol 480 cc56-7W
64. Lieut.-Colonel Corbett

asked the Minister of Food what is the maximum weekly capacity of bacon factories, existing and projected.

Mr. F. Willey

The existing maximum weekly capacity of bacon factories in the United Kingdom is about 90,000 cwts. No new factories are proposed but bacon curers hope to be able to increase existing capacity by improvements in existing plants.
