HC Deb 02 April 1962 vol 657 c2W
24. Mr. Snow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has for permitting the Pig Industry Development Authority to increase that organisation's income by means of an increased levy.

Mr. Soames

The Pig Industry Development Authority has submitted to me a scheme under Section 25 of the Agriculture Act, 1957, for increasing the rate of levy from 2d. to 4d. per score deadweight. The proposal is receiving urgent consideration by the Secretary of State for Scotland and myself.
