HC Deb 02 June 1960 vol 624 cc152-3W
47. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is now in a position to define the moderate increase in the breeding herd which is sought for pigs in the Annual Review and Determination of Guarantees 1960; and whether to ensure this increase, he will make a statement about the guaranteed price for pigs for 1961–62.

Mr. Hare

As my hon. Friend told the Member for Gloucestershire, West (Mr. Loughlin) on 21st March, it is not the Government's policy to set precise production targets. The level of the guaranteed price for 1961–62 will be determined after the 1961 Annual Review.
