§ Mr. Robert Atkinsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the current position on the price of cereal feedstuffs.
§ Mr. MacGregorThe ex-farm price of feed wheat is slightly above, and that of feed barley slightly below, the intervention price. These prices are relatively firmer than a year ago but well below the levels reached in the later months of last season.
With another very large harvest, and supplies coming on to the market at a more regular rate than last season, it seems probable that the sharp rise in prices that occurred last winter will be avoided this season.
