§ 78. Mr. Priorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food at what annual rate the egg subsidy is running, and whether this is above or below the estimate made in the 1964 Annual Price Review.
§ Mr. PeartThe subsidy depends on the average price realised for the whole of the financial year, and this cannot at present be forecast up to the end of next March. The estimate made at the time of the 1964 Annual Review was £25,600,000, but it is expected that the final figure will be higher than that.
