49. Mr. Lipson for

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Treasury and the Ministry of Food were present at the recent milk production talks between the National Farmers' Union and the Milk Marketing Board; and what progress had been made regarding the settlement of the new price adjustments and the earliest date that a Government announcement regarding milk production and distribution may be expected?

Mr. Hudson

The answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. I am not in a position to name the date on which an announcement will be made on the matters referred to in the second part of the Question.
