HC Deb 08 May 1950 vol 475 c16W
107. Mr. Higgs

asked the Minister of Food whether he is aware that many of the bacon factories in the country are still working below capacity because of the lack of labour or the lack of permission to cure ham and bacon in the way for which they were laid out; and what action he proposes to take to deal with these two matters.

Mr. F. Willey

Yes, but these are factories which specialised in ham curing and our supplies are not yet large enough to employ them for that purpose.
