Mr. Gibbons
I understand that due to a shortage of pigs one factory went on short time last week and a second is expected to do so this week.
Is it the Minister's opinion that many more factories will take the same action in the near future?
I should not be surprised if more factories went on short time. There are fewer pigs in stock.
