HC Deb 20 November 1941 vol 376 cc496-7W
Sir P. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether the prices of farm produce will be revised to meet the large increase in farm wages now being arranged?

Mr. Hudson

I stated on October 18thThe Government have made it clear that they hold firmly to their assurance that agricultural prices will be reviewed in the event of a substantial change in production costs including wages.

I have nothing at present to add to this statement beyond saying that the necessary measures to implement the assurance are being actively considered.
