Sir T. Moore
asked the Minister of Food if he can indicate the approximate number of pigs slaughtered at Ministry of Food slaughter houses during each month of the current year and what approximate proportion of these were sent by self-suppliers.
Dr. Edith Summerskill
I will circulate details for Ministry-owned pigs in the OFFICIAL REPORT, but we cannot divide the figures for self-suppliers' pigs according to the type of slaughterhouse.
