§ 40. Mr. Litterickasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his Department's final estimate of the 1978 grain crop; and how he expects this to affect retail prices.
§ Mr. BishopThe latest estimate of the 1978 United Kingdom cereals crop is for 17.4 million tonnes. The good United Kingdom harvest for wheat will benefit consumers by helping the milling and feedstuffs industries to contain their costs and minimise any increase in retail prices.
