HC Deb 09 July 1953 vol 517 c100W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will give an assurance that the 100 Swedish Landrace pigs being imported for breeding purposes are made available for purchase by legitimate pig producers.

Sir T. Dugdale

I understand that the National Pig Breeders' Association, who are importing these pigs from Sweden, intend to make it a condition of sale that no purchaser shall buy more than one lot of pigs nor dispose of any of them for at least 18 months. This should ensure that the pigs are bought only by genuine pig breeders.
