§ 35. Mr. Loveridgeasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the possibility of changes in the United Kingdom cereal marketing arrangements agreed in Brussels to operate from 1st February, 1973, in view of the fact that threshold prices for imported grain are several pounds a ton below the forward feed prices being paid; and if he will relate his statement to the effects this will have on consumer prices.
§ Mr. GodberDecisions have not yet been taken in Brussels as to how the relevant provisions of the Act of Accession should be applied in such a case. Her Majesty's Government will naturally have regard to the effects on consumer prices.
