§ Mr. Wainwrightasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, of those milk producers to whom he wrote on 25 March offering participation in the outgoers' scheme by ceasing all production in mid-April, what proportion joined the scheme.
§ Mr. MacGregorOf the 125 producers who were invited to join the scheme on 25 March, 40 have now accepted—a take-up rate of 32 per cent. Five more producers also wish to become outgoers but are still awaiting either landlord's consent or final professional advice. The final acceptance rate could therefore be as high as 36 per cent.
