§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Food if he will take steps to ensure that slaughterers of pigs insert the identification mark or number of all marked pigs in the column provided under the heading of, "Producers Identification," on the payment certificate or grading statement.
§ Major Lloyd GeorgeAll pigs bought by my Department are tattoo marked to identify ownership. If producers wish to put a private mark on their pigs and notify my Department when the pigs are presented, details of these marks, as well as of the official identification marks, are required to be given in the appropriate column of the payment certificate. If my hon. Friend will let me know of any cases where this is not done, I will have them investigated.
