HC Deb 19 April 1967 vol 745 c100W
92 and 93. Mr. Wolrige-Gordon

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) if he will specify the nature of the indirect assistance which goes to the pigmeat industry in Denmark;

(2) whether he has completed his study of the representations made to him about the effective level of support to the pig-meat industry in Denmark as compared with the United Kingdom; and what conclusions he has reached.

Mr. Hoy

I cannot usefully add to my reply to the hon. Member on 15th February [Vol. 741, c.100–1] except to say that the existence of support, including indirect support, to foreign pigmeat industries was one of the factors discussed with our own industry before the Government decided on the stabilisation arrangements which were announced on 12th April.
