Mr. Perkins
asked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the fact that 23 bacon factories are unable to handle their full quota of pigs owing to shortage of labour, he will reconsider his decision not to increase the quota to Messrs. Smith Rogers & Co., Ltd., who are in a position to handle an increased number of pigs.
Mr. F. Willey
No. Pigs which cannot be dealt with by the 23 bacon factories are shared amongst all other factories. These can handle them and we cannot treat Messrs. Smith Rogers & Co., Ltd., preferentially.
