§ Sir P. Hurdasked the Minister of Agriculture what progress has been made with the organisation of pig clubs to encourage pig keeping by cottagers and smallholders?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithThe small Pig Keepers' Council, which, as my hon. Friend will be aware, was set up as an independent body in November last to encourage cottagers, smallholders, allotment holders, and others to keep pigs and to form pig clubs for insurance and other purposes, is now completing arrangements for a general campaign in pursuit of these objectives, and I understand that the formation of pig clubs is already under discussion in a number of districts.
