§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Labour if he will state the number and sexes of the persons employed in the bacon and pig industries in Aberdeen city and county during each of the last 10 years; and what steps he is taking to arrest the increasing unemployment in these two industries in Aberdeen.
§ Mr. Iain MacleodI regret that the information at my disposal does not enable me to distinguish those engaged in the rearing of pigs from other agricultural workers, or those engaged in the 159W production of bacon from those engaged in the preparation and processing of other meat products.
