§ Lieut.-Colonel MOOREasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is satisfied with the operation of the quota arrangements for bacon imports up to date, or whether it is intended to review the quotas in the near future with the object of seeing whether a more satisfactory arrangement can be found for protecting the British bacon industry?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANCertain minor modifications in the detailed arrangements for regulating the flow of imports of bacon from foreign countries have been introduced this year, but no immediate alteration of the general system of control is in contemplation. My hon. and gallant Friend may, however, rest assured that the working of the system is kept continuously under review, and that we shall not hesitate to propose any change in the arrangements which experience may suggest as desirable.
