HL Deb 12 June 1979 vol 400 cc605-6WA
Lord O'HAGAN

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they are taking to ensure a review of the coefficients used in the calculations of pigmeat monetary compensation amounts.

Earl FERRERS

The coefficients which are used to calculate the monetary compensatory amounts for cuts of pigmeat and pigmeat products and which are derived from the amount applied to the basic product—namely, a pig carcase—were reviewed and modified with effect from 1st May 1979. We shall be keeping these coefficients under review.
