HC Deb 19 June 1974 vol 875 c148W
31. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what further steps are being taken to assist farmers, in view of the current problems of the industry.

Mr. William Ross

The Government are still considering representations which have been made about decisions taken by the previous administration at the Annual Farm Price Review. So far as beef and pig producers are concerned, my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture will be making a statement today about the outcome of the Council of Ministers' meeting this week.
