§ Mr. BishopThere is no easily identifiable basis for measuring EEC and non-EEC prices, and, because of differences in quality, grading, presentation of products and stage of marketing, comparisons of prices of foodstuffs from different sources can be made only in broad terms. Subject to these reservations, a table showing the latest information available for selected commodities is set out below. per cent. rate and have made arrangements accordingly, including consultations with the ship and boat building industry. It is not the practice to publish revised estimated of revenue receipts between Budgets.
