HC Deb 12 February 1951 vol 484 cc5-6W
71. Brigadier Rayner

asked the Minister of Food what price he is offering per lb. for Canadian bacon; and what price Canada is asking.

Mr. F. Willey

We offered to buy in 1951 Canadian bacon at 29 cents per lb, This price is in line with the prices which we pay to our other overseas suppliers of bacon. Current Canadian prices fluctuate but they have for some time been well above this level.
