HC Deb 16 February 1978 vol 944 c320W
40. Mr. Loyden

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he remains satisfied with the progress of the policy "Food from Our Own Resources" in the light of recent decisions on farmers' incomes.

Mr. Strang

"Food from Our Own Resources" has provided valuable guidelines for agricultural policy. But, because of changes in circumstances since its publication in 1975, the White Paper is now under review. The recent decision to devalue the green pound, which will raise farmers' returns, will be taken into account.
