HC Deb 25 March 1971 vol 814 cc208-9W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what estimate he has made of the total amount by which Welsh farmers have benefited from this year's Price Review.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I cannot give a precise estimate of the total benefit to Welsh farmers. But clearly Welsh farmers should benefit substantially from the increased prices of livestock and livestock products.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the amount for added production costs for Welsh farmers since the last review taken into account in the Price Review of 1971.

Mr. Peter Thomas

It is not practicable to make such an estimate.
