HC Deb 03 December 1980 vol 995 c101W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how pig producers' returns in Wales compare with prices paid to Danish and Dutch pig producers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Prices secured by Welsh producers are in line with those of the rest of the United Kingdom. For the week ending 16 November 1980 the EEC pigmeat reference prices, which reflect the weekly average market price in each member State, were as follows:

Deadweight
Denmark 65.65 p/kg
Netherlands 70.02 p/kg
United Kingdom 85.43 p/kg
