HC Deb 07 May 1969 vol 783 c88W
55. Mr. Emery

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representation he has had from the Chairman of the Devon Farmers' Union; what was the main point raised in this representation; and what reply he has given.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The Chairman of the Devon County Branch of the National Farmers' Union invited me to Devon to speak about the outcome of this year's Annual Review. I had hoped to go on 31st March but this date was chosen for the Supply Day debate on agriculture. I had a prior commitment for a later date which was suggested.
