INTRODUCTION 1. The only overseas country, apart from Eire, from which we are now obtaining bacon is Canada. The current agreement ends on October 31st, 1940, and negotiations for a renewal are overdue. The present agreement provides for a supply of 2,500 tons per week, i.e. 130,000 tons per annum. Actually taken over the period of the agreement, supplies will have been slightly in excess of the above rate. 2. The programme of bacon imports for the second year of the war has recently been considered by the Overseas Purchase Board of the Ministry of Food, and subsequently by the Exchange Requirements Committee of the Treasury.
