HC Deb 04 May 1964 vol 694 cc120-1W
59. Mr. Oram

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the effect on consumer food prices of the increased farm prices agreed under this year's Price Review.

Mr. Soames

The increase of ½d. a pint in the retail price of milk means about half a point on the index of retail food prices. Apart from this, the Review determinations do not significantly affect what the consumer pays.
