§ Mr. Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, in view of the increased costs to the egg industry, he is satisfied that adequate recoupment has been made to this industry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PeartThe increased cost of feed, by far the major item of cost, has been automatically recouped through the Feed Formula; and other cost increases have been offset by increased efficiency. In view of this and the risk of over-production, I am satisfied that it was right to reduce the guaranteed price at the Annual Review.
