HC Deb 10 December 1969 vol 793 c121W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware that in 1955 milk producers received 3s. 1¼d. per gallon and in 1969 3s. 4¼d., an increase of 7 per cent.; whether he is satisfied as to the milk producers' ability to compete with increasing costs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hoy

The period in question has been one of rising output and productivity. It would not be appropriate to comment on current trends in advance of the Review.
