HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 c88W
54. Mr. Farr

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to announce the Annual Price Review.

Mr. Prior

I will announce the Annual Review determinations as soon as possible.

87. Mr. John Morris

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is satisfied with the liquidity position of farmers; and if he will take account of this in the Annual Price Review.

Mr. Prior

A number of factors, especially cost increases, are affecting farmers' financial position, and these are being examined in the Annual Review. It was because of these factors that the Government increased the guarantees by £54 million for the current year last October.
