HC Deb 22 March 1967 vol 743 cc257-8W
59. Mr. Bessell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals he has for stabilising the price of agricultural feedingstuffs.

Mr. Hoy

Notifications of proposed increases in the prices of manufactured animal feedingstuffs will continue to be subject to rigorous scrutiny. But prices in this country could not be insulated from changes in the world prices of raw materials without subsidies or far reaching changes in our import policy.
