§ 56. Sir J. Duncanasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in the forthcoming negotiations regarding the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement, he will take steps to ensure that he leaves himself more free than at present to adjust the guaranteed price of British sugar from British farms so as to make the British crop more remunerative though still restricted in size by the capacity of existing factories.
§ Mr. SoamesThe provisions of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement do not determine the price of sugar beet grown in Britain; this is fixed in the light of the Annual Review carried out under the 1947 and 1957 Agriculture Acts.
