HC Deb 30 July 1959 vol 610 c137W
73. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what further representations he has received from members of the Pig Industry Development Authority regarding his recent undertaking on pig prices in the next Annual Price Review.

Mr. Godber

No representations have been received either from the Pig Industry Development Authority or from any of their members regarding the recent undertaking on pig prices in the next Annual Price Review.

Mr. D. Price

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in the next Price Review, he will introduce a separate price guarantee for bacon pigs based on his Department's gradings at the bacon factories.

Mr. John Hare

The position of the bacon pig producer is protected under the present guarantee system particularly by the quality premiums payable on bacon pigs and by the separate stabilising arrangements.
