HC Deb 30 November 1966 vol 737 c101W
60. Mr. Prior

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the quantity of British bacon for the year ending 31st December 1966; how this quantity compares with Great Britain's allocation under the Bacon Sharing Agreement; how the shortfall has been made up; and what is the estimated cost of the shortfall in terms of additional imports.

Mr. Hoy

Allocations under the Bacon Market-Sharing Understanding relate to the year ending in March. So far, home production has been below the level envisaged but this has not resulted in increased imports.
