HC Deb 10 March 1947 vol 434 c130W
52. Mr. Lambert

asked the Minister of Agriculture if he will raise the prices paid to the producers of food in order to reimburse them for the increase in costs which will be caused by double summer time.

Mr. T. Williams

No, Sir. In accordance with the procedure for price fixing, which has been agreed with the National Farmers' Unions, I am not prepared to alter farm prices in anticipation of cost changes—upwards or downwards —of unknown amount.
