§ Mr. Bessellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will increase the standard quantity in relation to milk and include milk used for cream.
§ Mr. PeartThis is a matter for consideration at the Annual Review the outcome of which I cannot, of course, anticipate.
§ Mr. Bessellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has to increase standard quantities, in view of the demand by Her Majesty's Government for a substantial increase in productivity.
§ Mr. PeartThe level of the standard quantities will be decided at the next Annual Review. When the National Plan was published, however, the Government announced that in fixing the standard quantity for milk they would take account of their talks with the industry. They also announced that the standard quantities for wheat and barley would not be reduced over the next three years but would be related to the expected growth in the market.
