HC Deb 01 March 1944 vol 397 c1432W
Sir A. Maitland

asked the Minister of Agriculture if, in the further consideration of fixing prices for agricultural products, he will give every opportunity to the National Farmers' Union for consultation and agreement as to the types of farms to be selected as the basis of costings and afford the National Farmers' Union facilities for submitting proposals as to the farms they regard as fair examples upon which to obtain information for fixing prices to be applied generally.

Mr. Hudson

The matters to which my hon. Friend refers are at the present time under discussion between my Department and the National Farmers' Union, and I have every hope that agreement will be reached as to the procedure that should be adopted in the selection of samples.
