§ Mr. Thorpeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the actual price received by producers of tuberculin tested milk in 1955–56 and what is the difference between this price and that to be received by milk producers as a result of the present price review.
§ Mr. Scott-HopkinsThe average ex-farm price received by wholesale producers of Tuberculin Tested milk in England and Wales in 1955–56 was just over 3s. 1½d. a gallon. It is expected that this year the price will work out at about 3s. 0½d. a gallon; this price would have been about 3d. a gallon higher but for the increase of over 20 per cent. in total milk production which has taken place since 1955–56.
