HC Deb 20 February 1924 vol 169 c1802W
Mr. WRIGHT

asked the Minister of Agriculture the percentage of pigs in England and Wales that would Dome under the category of porkers and those fit for bacon production?

Mr. BUXTON

I regret that I am unable to supply the information desired. Pigs intended for pork are usually killed at an earlier age than those intended for bacon production, but the proportions are necessarily influenced by the prices ruling for each class.
