HC Deb 30 November 1966 vol 737 cc101-2W
61. Mr. Prior

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has about the prices paid to Danish producers for pigs delivered to bacon factories for grades 1A and 1B; and what estimate he has made of the subsidy being paid directly or indirectly to Danish pig producers.

Mr. Hoy

Prices paid by co-operative bacon factories are published weekly in Denmark. The hon. Member will see from the details I am sending him that there has been no direct supplementation of these prices since mid-June. Indirect help to pig producers cannot readily be quantified.
