Mr. T. Macpherson

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he has yet decided upon the prices to be paid for the principal agricultural commodities in the forthcoming year consequent upon the recent Annual Review as required by Part I of the Agriculture Act, 1947.

Mr. T. Williams

Yes. Prices for livestock products for the year commencing 1st April next and for clops of the 1950 harvest have been fixed by the Government and are being announced today. The announcement includes revised prices for the 1949 crops, for which a special review was held on account of the rise in wages that took effect in England and Wales on 13th March. Copies of the announcement are being placed in the Library for the information of hon. Members.
