HC Deb 15 March 1956 vol 550 c55W
28. Mr. Hurd

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent imports of foreign bacon will continue to be controlled by quota when the 10 per cent. tariff comes into effect on 1st October; and what provision is being made for the importation of Canadian bacon.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Our intention is that there should be no quota restriction on imports of bacon from the sterling area and Western Europe. I am not yet in a position to make a statement about imports from other sources.
