HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 cc155-6W
120. Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Food what will be the prices of pig and poultry foods when feedingstuff subsidies are extinguished.

Dr. Summerskill

It is too early to say what the prices of pig and poultry foods will be after the feedingstuffs subsidies are withdrawn. They will depend on factors as yet unknown, such as stocks at the end of the financial year and prices of imported feedingstuffs then current.
