99. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Food what individual additions there have already been and what further individual additions are to be expected during this financial year to the total of £392 million for food subsidies announced by him last August.

Dr. Summerskill

As stated by my right hon. Friend the Member for Bishop Auckland (Mr. Dalton) in his recent Budget speech, it is not intended that there will be any increase in the total of £392 million for food subsidies.
