§ Miss Quennellasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the New Zealand butter quota were diminished by 1 per cent., 2 per cent. and 3 per cent. respectively, of butter sold in the United Kingdom and these figures were allocated to the British dairy farmer, by how much would the returns then available to the home producer increase.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartIf the New Zealand butter quota were reduced by 1 per cent., 2 per cent. or 3 per cent. of the total amount of butter estimated to be sold in the United Kingdom in the quota year 1970–71 and if United Kingdom milk production rose sufficiently to provide butter in replacement, the United Kingdom Milk Marketing Boards would increase their total income at the current price of milk sold for butter by £1.9 million, £3.8 million and £5.7 million respectively.
