HC Deb 17 July 1958 vol 591 c111W
2. Mr. Brockway

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what view was expressed by the United Kingdom representative on the Cocoa Study Group of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation regarding the proposal for international stabilisation of cocoa prices.

Mr. Godber

The representative of the United Kingdom expressed the view that international co-operation in the fields of production, marketing and statistics could make important contributions to the welfare of the cocoa industry. It was unlikely, however, in the absence of agreement about the problems confronting the industry, that further study at that stage would lead to a practicable scheme for stabilising prices.
