HC Deb 16 April 1969 vol 781 cc251-2W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from the agricultural industry against the proposals in the recent Price Review; and what was his reply.

Mr. Ross

The Scottish National Farmers' Union has represented against the adequacy of the award. My reply has been that the award should give re- newed confidence to farmers producing the priority commodities set out in the Selective Expansion Programme statement made by my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on 12th November.—[Vol. 773, c. 210–13.]
