HC Deb 13 June 1940 vol 361 cc1398-9W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Agriculture what steps are being taken to obtain reliable figures showing the rise in costs of production of agricultural products in recent months?

Mr. R. S. Hudson

I receive through the usual statistical channels a great deal of information about prices paid by farmers for their raw materials. In addition the agricultural economists attached to the provincial advisory centres in England and Wales send me monthly reports.
