§ Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are being taken to encourage the keeping of pigs by allotment-holders and other small cultivators as a means of using up waste vegetable matter and other scrap; and whether any concrete plan exists to encourage the formation of pig clubs and to provide them with a sound type of foundation stock?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithThe keeping of pigs by allotment-holders and other small cultivators is being encouraged through the Ministry's educational and publicity services, emphasis being placed on the desirability in the present emergency of utilising waste food products for feeding to pigs and of securing good store stock direct from breeders. The possibility of further action on the lines indicated is under consideration, but no definite proposals have been drawn up for encouraging the formation of pig clubs.
