§ Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the cold store stock of butter in the United Kingdom at the end of June this year compared with the stock on the same date last year; and how much is the storage cost per week.
§ Mr. HoyThe provisional figure is 69,100 tons, compared with 68,100 last year. Nearly all these stocks are of butter from New Zealand and Australia whose Dairy Boards bear the storage costs which they negotiate with port authorities. I cannot say what they pay.
