HC Deb 26 November 1973 vol 865 c43W
Mr. Raison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to achieve a more stable market for pigs.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The recent difficulties with costs of feed may have slowed the rate of expansion in our pig breeding herd, but the rise in pig prices has helped producers to cope with these increased costs and the prospects for pig production are good. We shall however be reviewing the whole position at the forthcoming Annual Review.
