HC Deb 28 January 1957 vol 563 cc125-6W
Mr. Dudley Williams

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to what extent the recent increases in the prices of refined sugar have been affected by an increase in the refiners' margin.

Mr. Amory

The refining margin is computed in accordance with the undertaking given to my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exechequer under Section 27 of the Sugar Act and is therefore unaffected by changes in the price of raw sugar.
