The Cabinet today decided to take steps to restrict the breeding of pigs to specific areas of the country where the Christian population is concentrated. The number of swine to be raised will be limited.
A special Cabinet committee consisting of the Ministers of Justice, Agriculture, Religions and Interior will be set up to carry out the decision. If necessary, special legislation to carry out the decision will be sought in Parliament.
The Ministers also began a discussion of the forthcoming administrative budget, which is expected to reach 260,000,000 pounds. This does not include the separate development budget.
