HC Deb 30 July 1974 vol 878 cc187-8W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much extra per gallon the dairy farmer in Wales needs to cover the extra feeding costs for the year to June 1975; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Morris

It is impossible at this stage to make a useful forecast of feed cost in the period referred to. I recognise the concern of dairy farmers about the profitability of milk production. I would refer to my right hon. Friend's statement in the debate on agriculture on 26th June.
