HC Deb 30 June 1942 vol 381 c50W
Mr. J. Dugdale

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food the number of bacon-curing establishments that will be closed as a result of the Ministry's scheme for the concentration of this industry in West Bromwich and in the Midlands, respectively?

Mr. Mabane

The scheme for the concentration of the bacon industry is still in draft form and the application of the principles to individual factories is under active consideration. I am not at present in a position to state the number of bacon curing factories that will be closed in West Bromwich and in the Midlands, respectively.
