HC Deb 19 May 1965 vol 712 cc217-8W
31. Mr. Ian Gilmour

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will take steps to assist those beef producers who will derive no benefit from the increase of 4s. per live cwt. in the guaranteed price of fat cattle.

Mr. Hoy

The increase in the guaranteed price for fat cattle will benefit the industry as a whole. Other changes in the guarantee arrangements will affect individual producers differently, depending on the time they sell their cattle and on the relationship between the market price and the standard price. These changes are intended to influence the production and marketing plans of producers.
