HC Deb 24 July 1968 vol 769 c128W
100. Mr. John Wells

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of imported horticultural produce subject to statutory grading has been down-graded since the introduction of grading; if he is satisfied that imported produce is examined as rigorously as home grown produce; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hoy

Information for England and Wales is given in the following table:

Bacon Curing Industry; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

I cannot yet add to my reply to the hon. Member on 15th May. The new standards of bacon selection of which four months' experience will be one factor in our review of the stabilisation arrangements for the curing industry, have been operating for less than two months.—[Vol. 764, c.245.]
