HC Deb 21 January 1976 vol 903 c488W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what standards he will apply to define bread making and soft quality wheats.

Mr. Bishop

As part of the CAP price proposals for 1976–77 the EEC Commission has made proposals to fix the intervention price for wheat at a feed-grain level, and to establish a reference price for wheat of breadmaking quality. Detailed proposals for the implementation of these arrangements are awaited, and until discussion has taken place I cannot say what standards will be applied in the United Kingdom.
