HC Deb 02 December 1976 vol 921 c263W
Mr. Marten

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food at what price per ton in sterling the Common Market is purchasing skimmed milk powder from farmers; and at what price it is selling it back to farmers for animal feed.

Mr. Bishop

The intervention price of skimmed milk powder in the United Kingdom is £520…45 per tonne. It is sold by the Intervention Board for animal feed at £304…71 per tonne. On proof that the powder has been incorporated into or processed for animal feed, the price may be reduced further to £100…25 per tonne.
