HC Deb 06 July 1959 vol 608 c99W
Sir A. Bossom

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will recommend to the British Broadcasting Corporation that, in the market report for farmers broadcast in the early morning, egg prices should be announced before fatstock prices, as this is the desire of the majority of farmers of this country.

Mr. John Hare

I have no evidence that farmers want a change in the order in which prices are given in these broadcasts, and I understand that the B.B.C, whose responsibility it is to decide the order, has none either. I should not therefore feel justified in supporting a change.
