HC Deb 06 April 1933 vol 276 cc1926-7W
Captain J. MacANDREW

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has considered the suggestion of a separate pig marketing scheme for Scotland; and, if so, what conclusion has he come to?

Sir G. COLLINS

The advisability of providing for a separate scheme regulating the marketing of pigs in Scotland was considered at the time when the reorganisation commission was appointed, but it was decided that the interests of Scottish producers would best be served by a scheme applying to Great Britain. Later when a scheme was prepared, the National Farmers' Union of Scotland cooperated with representatives of English pig-feeders to submit such a joint scheme.
