HC Deb 09 March 1950 vol 472 c14W
77. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Food why some licences issued to private individuals to slaughter pigs specifically exclude permission to cure bacon or ham; and whether he will ensure that this proviso is excluded from all future licences that are issued.

Mr. Webb

None of the licences now being issued forbid curing, although those issued to certain institutions used to do so. If the hon. and gallant Member knows of a case where an out-of-date form has been used, I should be glad if he would send me details.
