HC Deb 19 October 1954 vol 531 cc156-7W
90. Mr. Spence

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will consult the Minister of Food in order to prepare for consideration a new plan for the more satisfactory production and marketing in quantity, of home-grown pigs for pork and bacon.

Mr. Nugent

My right hon. Friend is keeping a close watch on pig markets and I am glad to say that there are signs of definite improvement in the quality of pigs produced. In the main, the present system is working satisfactorily, and any necessary modifications will be made to it in the light of experience.
