HC Deb 09 December 1929 vol 233 c59W
Mr. T. SMITH

asked the Minister of Agriculture how many co-operative bacon factories there are in Great Britain; whether the number is increasing or decreasing; and if any new factories have been established during the past 12 months?

Mr. N. BUXTON

There are now three co-operative bacon factories in England and one in Scotland. In 1924, there were six such factories working in England. None has been started within the last 12 months.
