HC Deb 19 October 1939 vol 352 cc1059-60W
Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he is aware that, in view of the prices ruling for feeding-stuffs and other costs, the more pigs a fanner produces the greater is his loss; and, in view of the necessity for increasing the country's supply, will he consider raising the fixed selling price as soon as possible?

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

As my right hon. Friend stated yesterday in his reply to questions by the hon. Members for Lowestoft (Mr. Loftus) and Doncaster (Mr. J. Morgan), the standard selling price of pigs has been increased by 1s. per score lbs.
