HC Deb 02 March 1971 vol 812 cc377-8W
42. Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are his criteria in determining whether to accept or reject any proposals for a Producer Marketing Board for commodities where no such board exists at present.

Mr. Prior

I would consider the interests of all affected parties and propose modifications as appropriate. If these were accepted, I should then need to be satisfied that the scheme met the requirement of the Act that it would conduce to the more efficient production and marketing of the product.
