§ 64. Mr. Willeyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement on the Government's assessment of the average whole sale price likely to be realised for fresh hen eggs in the coming year and his disagreement with the National Farmers' Union.
§ Mr. GodberThe Government's estimate of the average wholesale price for fresh hen eggs in the coming year was reached after very careful assessment of all the relevant considerations. My right hon. Friend regrets that the representatives of the Farmers' Unions were unable to agree with the determination of 2s. l0d. per dozen.
