HC Deb 14 November 1938 vol 341 c488
51. Mr. W. Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture the monthly index figure for the wholesale value of British mutton and lamb during the last 12 months and also the corresponding index figures for the retail value of British mutton and lamb?

Mr. W. S. Morrison

As the reply includes a table of figures, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Following is the reply:

Statement showing for the last 12 months, index numbers of retail prices of two cuts of home-killed mutton in the United Kingdom as computed by the Ministry of Labour, together with the monthly indices for the same period based on the average wholesale price of mutton at certain representative markets in England.
