HC Deb 13 November 1940 vol 365 c1725W
Major Procter

asked the Minister of Agriculture the increase in farmers' returns represented by prices for 1941 fixed to cover increased production costs and also the reduction in farmers' returns caused by the lower price of fat cattle and pigs?

Mr. T. Williams

Any estimates of farmers' returns in 1941 must necessarily depend on a great many factors including the weather, and I am unable to give the precise information asked for by my hon. and galllant Friend. I would, however, refer him to the general statement made by my right hon. Friend in the House on 22nd October.
