HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 cc360-1W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will examine the method of forecasting future pig supplies with a view to making its analysis more flexible; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hoy

Our aim is to arrive at the best possible forecast of pig certifications, and the method of calculation is kept under review and adjusted from time to time to take account of relevant changes, for instance in the pattern of the pig breeding herd.
