§ 9. Mr. Donnellyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will arrange for his officials to consult the Pembrokeshire National Farmers' Union on the prevailing prices for home-killed meat and the current tendencies in the utilisation of livestock.
Mr. AmoryMy officials keep in touch with N.F.U. Headquarters about prevailing prices and trends for home-killed meat. So far as the position in Pembrokeshire is concerned, I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Gentleman on 19th July.
§ Mr. DonnellyIs there any reason why the right hon. Gentleman's officials cannot consult the National Farmers' Union in the district?
Mr. AmoryNo, none at all, as to general consultation. In fact, I believe that a meeting has been held between my officials and the Pembrokeshire National Farmers' Union today—either it has been or will be held.
