HC Deb 26 July 1967 vol 751 c138W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that home producers will fulfil their quota in 1967 of the Bacon Sharing Agreement; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peart

Home production of bacon since April has been below the rate necessary to fulfil the minimum allocation for 1967–68. I cannot predict the final outcome but I am sure that the home industry, with the help of the stabilisation scheme, is doing its best to increase its output.
