§ 100. Sir F. Sandersonasked the Minister of Agriculture what consultations are proceeding between the National Farmers' Union and the Government on a proposal to add wool to the list of commodities for which prices are guaranteed under the First Schedule to the Agriculture Act, 1947.
§ Mr. G. BrownI am sending the hon. Member a copy of a Press notice on the subject issued on 2nd November last, to which I have nothing at present to add. As stated therein, the discussions about adding wool to the First Schedule are linked up with proposals for a scheme for the marketing of wool under the Agricultural Marketing Acts, and may not be completed for some time.
