HC Deb 09 December 1954 vol 535 c76W
Captain Duncan

asked the Minister of Food whether he will make a statement about the arrangements for cereals deficiency payments next year.

Mr. Amory

The Government propose to continue the cereals deficiency payments scheme for the 1955–56 crop year. It will be administered by the Cereals Deficiency Payments Unit of the Ministry of Food. The existing Advisory Committees representing the growers' and trade interests concerned will be consulted about the detailed arrangements.
