HC Deb 15 May 1963 vol 677 cc170-1W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has yet considered the views of Scottish pig producers and consumers disclosed by the detailed memoranda by the Association of Scottish Bacon Curers and the British Bacon Curers' Federation sent to him early in January, 1963, by the hon. and learned Member for Aberdeen, North; and if he will now make a statement of his plans to remove those grievances.

Mr. Noble

I have considered the memorandum. The measures taken at the recent Annual Review to make the flexible guarantee arrangements more effective should help the pig industry to achieve the objective of a more stable level of production.
