§ Captain Duncanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to state, in tabular form, the actual amounts paid out in support prices in respect of each of the farm products guaranteed by the Agriculture Act, 1947, and the estimates for the same products which were made for his April Budget, for the first eight months of this financial year or for the latest convenient period.
Mr. AmoryThe information is set out in the following table for the United Kingdom. It should be noted that the rates of payments for the first eight months of the financial year cannot properly be compared with those for a full year because of the seasonal nature of production, seasonal price variations and other factors.
