HC Deb 22 January 1969 vol 776 c101W
42. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether, during the current Price Review negotiations, he will provide against the results of a fall in the value of the £ sterling between February, 1969, and February, 1970, in order to ensure that such fall is not borne by farmers.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

No. Changes in costs cannot be dealt with on a separate footing from other changes and considerations that affect the economic condition and prospects of the industry. Full account of all these factors is taken at each successive Annual Review.
