HC Deb 24 October 1950 vol 478 cc338-9W
Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Minister of Food what prices per hundredweight for New Zealand and Australian cheese and butter have been arranged.

Mr. Webb

The current New Zealand prices are 252s. 6d. f.o.b. for butter and 141s. 6d. f.o.b. for cheese. Our discussions with Australia on the 1950–51 prices are not yet complete, and in the meanwhile shipments are continuing at last season's rate, namely, 251s. f.o.b. for butter and 140s. f.o.b. for cheese.
