HC Deb 12 May 1965 vol 712 cc66-7W
72. Mr. Dance

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what evidence he has that meat exports to the Continent are resulting in increased meat prices in Midland markets.

Mr. Peart

I have no evidence to this effect. Although exports of cattle are estimated to have been higher in April than in any of the previous three months, average prices for English beef on the Birmingham wholesale market were lower.
