§ Mr. Kinseyasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the decision to postpone the fixing of common agricultural policy prices will affect prices in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. GodberNow that the Council has decided to defer the fixing of Community agricultural prices for 1973–74 by one month, it would be logical to defer the start of the marketing year for beef and milk products from 1st April to 1st May. I would expect this to be proposed. Under the provisions of the Treaty of Accession, the first adjustment in United Kingdom guide prices for cattle and calves and in the United Kingdom intervention price for butter will be similarly deferred.
