HC Deb 05 February 1953 vol 510 c223W
60. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Minister of Agriculture what further steps he is taking to remove controls on the agricultural industry in order to encourage producers and distributors.

Mr. Nugent

In recent months, the Government have announced their intention to end Government control over cereals, feedingstuffs and eggs. Taken together these decisions embrace a considerable area of production and trade. My right hon. Friend and my right hon. and gallant Friend the Minister of Food will continue to keep the situation under review.
