HC Deb 27 January 1943 vol 386 c504W
Sir W. Smithers

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food the average shrinkage between live and dead weight of pigs sent to Government slaughter-houses and to bacon factories?

Mr. Mabane

The figures for which my hon. Friend asks are not available and, in view of the amount of work involved, my noble Friend regrets that he cannot see his way to make arrangements for the collection of such statistics.
