HC Deb 18 February 1960 vol 617 cc132-3W
9. Mr. Forman

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the present butter situation and the prospects for the next six months.

Mr. John Hare

Butter supplies are now ample to meet current demands and prices have fallen from the high levels reached in November, 1959. Adequate supplies should continue to be available during the coming months.
