asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he can now make a statement, with regard to the Government's Agricultural Policy, with particular reference to sheep, pigs and barley?

As I stated in reply to my hon. Friend, I hope to be in a position to make a statement on sheep, oats and barley during the present week. As regards pigs, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply which I gave to a question asked by the hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. T. Williams) on 24th April.

Mr. Boothby

When does my right hon. and gallant Friend expect to make a statement?

Sir R. Dorman-Smith

There are still four working days.
