HC Deb 18 March 1974 vol 870 c32W
Mr. Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a statement about the future price of sugar imported under the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement.

Mr. Peart

For sugar shipped up to 31st December 1974, when the agreement is due to end, the price remains at £50 per ton for bulk sugar fob and stowed basis 96 degrees polarisation, with an addition of between £7 and £11 per ton for shipments from the developing countries. However, as I explained in the debate on 14th March an adjustment is being made in the price for 1972.
