HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 cc297-8W
36. Mr. Brewis

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will ensure that the aggregate price received by main crop potato growers in Scotland is not less than the guaranteed price for the current year.

Mr. Buchan

My right hon. Friend cannot ensure this in terms of the guarantee arrangements under which the guaranteed price to potato growers relates to the United Kingdom as a whole and to the season as a whole.
