HC Deb 18 October 1939 vol 352 c892W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that under his new regulations, pigs which formerly were delivered direct to the factory will now have to be sent to local markets for re-delivery to factories; and whether, in view of the loss of efficiency and weight which this will entail, he will reconsider the whole matter?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

I am glad to have this opportunity of saying that arrangements will be made for pigs to be delivered direct to factories except in such cases as the farmers themselves prefer to send their pigs to the local markets for delivery thence to factories.
