HC Deb 18 July 1949 vol 467 cc43-4W
19. Lieut.-Colonel Corbett

asked the Minister of Food, what quantities of bacon he estimates will be available to the public during 1949, 1950 and 1951, or to the most convenient yearly period, from home production and from each country with which he has made, or proposes to make, trade agreements.

Mr. Strachey

During 1949, home production of bacon is expected to be about 130,000 tons and total imports about 126,000. There is still some uncertainty as to the quantities from particular countries. Any estimates I make now for 1950 and 1951 would be very speculative.
