§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will refuse to allow any revaluation of the green pound that would in any way be detrimental to the British agriculture industry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI can assure my hon. Friend that I will not agree to any proposals damaging to the British agricultural industry. As I have always done, I shall continue to consider the level of the green pound in the light of all relevant factors at the time, including farmers' incomes, food prices and the prospects for the exchange rate.
