54. Sir G. Fox

asked the Minister of Food what is the ruling concerning the killing of pigs belonging to individuals with regard to the ownership of the offal including the flare; and why the Dunmow Flitch becon factory keep the flare and the Bury St. Edmunds bacon factory allow the individual to keep it.

Dr. Summerskill
