HC Deb 26 July 1967 vol 751 c135W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give the number of pigs eligible for guarantee, slaughtered in the period covered by the forecast made in August, 1966, following the publication of the June returns; and how this compares with the forecast.

Mr. Hoy

The forecast of annual certifications made in August, 1966, was just over 12.4 million pigs. It is estimated that some 12.2 million pigs eligible for guarantee were slaughtered in the period to which the forecast relates.
