HC Deb 18 February 1957 vol 565 cc6-7W
92. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the financial loss caused to the pig industry each year through disease.

Mr. Godber

Losses due to deaths of pigs in Great Britain have been estimated at about £9½ million a year. My right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot give an estimate of losses from illness not resulting in death.
