§ Mr. Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what he estimates will be the average producer price per kilogram of wool during 1981; and how that figure will compare, in percentage terms, with the corresponding figure for 1980.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithThe amount which producers will obtain for the 1981 wool clip will depend on the level of the guaranteed price and the British Wool Marketing Board's deduction for marketing costs, which have yet to be determined.
§ Mr. Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will take steps to increase the guaranteed price for wool in order to compensate producers, as far as possible, for increased production costs and general inflation during the last year.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithWe are considering the level of the guaranteed price for wool in 1981, and the factors mentioned are among those which we shall take into account.
