§ Mr. Buchanan-Smithasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the general level of return for producers of store stock: and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HoyPrices for all classes of stock are higher than those of last year and demand for store stock is keen. Producers of store cattle will also benefit from the increases in the beef cow and hill cow subsidies made at the last Annual Review. Producers' returns are, of course, considered each year at the Annual Review along with all other relevant factors.
