HC Deb 06 February 1974 vol 868 c341W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that it is in the national interest for dairy producers to change to beef production.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

A balanced expansion of efficient production in both these important sectors of agriculture is desirable. Each farmer must of course be free to choose the enterprises on which he may want to concentrate.
