§ Mr. J. E. B. Hillasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how far the increased cost of the cereal guarantees in the current year is attributable to a fall in price; and to what extent this increased charge to the Exchequer is estimated to be balanced by a corresponding reduction in the cost of the pig and egg guarantees due to the operation of the feedingstuffs formula.
§ Mr. John HareI regret that it is not practicable to make the comparison for which my hon. Friend asks. I am writing fully to him on the subject.
