HC Deb 16 May 1972 vol 837 c49W
41. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the present price of barley per ton; and how that figure compares with the price two years ago.

Mr. Peter Mills

Taken from the corn returns, the average ex-farm price of barley in the United Kingdom in the week ended 20th April, the most recent week for which information is available, was £26.12 per ton. Two years ago the corresponding price was £22.48 per ton.
