HC Deb 04 July 1951 vol 489 c219W
54. Brigadier Peto

asked the Minister of Food what is the average price paid to his Department on account of the sale of beef hides during 12 months to a recent and convenient date.

Mr. Webb

The average price during the 12 months ended 25th May this year was £7 1s. 3d. per hide, or about 2s. 4½d. per 1b. I must emphasise that this is an average and covers a very wide range of prices.
