HC Deb 28 March 1973 vol 853 c345W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his estimate of the benefit to farmers in Wales of the 1973 Price Review.

Mr. Gibson-Watt

I have been asked to reply.

I cannot give a precise estimate of the benefit to Welsh farmers. But clearly they should gain from higher market returns on cattle, sheep and milk in 1973–74; all these commodities are of great importance to Welsh producers. These higher returns will be sustained as necessary by the combined effect of the guarantee system and the common agricultural policy system of support.
