93. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Agriculture for an assurance that properly constituted marketing companies, cooperative or otherwise, will be recognised as agents for the price guarantees on fat-stock sold by grade and deadweight.

My right hon. Friend is prepared to arrange, in consultation with my right hon. and gallant Friend the Minister of Food, that guarantee payments should be made to farmers through bodies operating recognised schemes for the sale of fatstock on grade and deadweight.
