111. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Food how many pig graders are employed by his Department; if they are moved from one bacon factory to another; and what steps are taken to ensure a uniform standard of grading throughout the country.

Dr. Hill

One hundred and fifty-one full-time and forty part-time graders are employed at bacon factories and are moved from one factory to another as occasion requires. Grading standards are supervised by a staff of inspectors.
