§ Sir H. Harrisonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what alterations he proposes to make in the arrangements for registration of contracts under the Cereals Levy Scheme.
§ Mr. PriorFollowing representations from the cereals trade, I propose to make arrangements for the refunding of part of the registration charge in cases where the quantity imported is less than that registered, provided that the difference falls within the normal trade tolerance of 10 per cent. by weight, which caters for variations caused by factors such as handling losses in transit. The refunds will be made from the Contingencies Fund, subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary Supplementary Estimate in due course.
