HC Deb 10 May 1967 vol 746 c218W
Mr. Buchanan-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is now satisfied with the level of returns to egg producers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchan

Financial returns to egg producers were considered, along with other relevant factors at the 1967 Annual Review. As was indicated in the Review White Paper, there is a continued danger of production rising faster than demand, and the guaranteed price was therefore reduced.
