asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the basis for his calculation of 40 per cent. as the rise in the price of animal feeding stuffs since January 1973; and to which feeding stuffs the calculation related.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

I regret that it is impossible to provide this information in the time available, and I shall therefore be writing to my hon. Friend shortly.

Mr. Elystan Morgan
