HC Deb 14 July 1960 vol 626 c122W
60. Sir A. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many farmers have made long term contracts with bacon curers and for how many pigs within the terms since the 1960 Price Review when greater stability in pig prices was assured.

Mr. Hare

I am glad to say that there has been a very good response to long term contracts and that about 7,000 producers have been contracted for a total of over 1½ million pigs to be delivered by the end of March. 1961
