HC Deb 01 May 1958 vol 587 c43W
58. Sir C. Thornton-Kemsley

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of the requirements of the home market for bacon it is intended the home producer should meet.

Mr. John Hare

It is not our policy to set precise production targets for any commodity. We believe the requirements of the market should determine how the total supply of pigmeat should be shared between the pork trade, the manufacturing trade and the bacon curing industry.
