HC Deb 14 March 1984 vol 56 c157W
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 23 February 1984 the EEC pigmeat reference prices which reflect the weekly average market price in each Member state were as follows:

Country p/kg deadweight
Denmark 97.46
Netherlands 89.24
United Kingdom 94.02
