HC Deb 08 May 1986 vol 97 c237W
27. Mr. Charles Morrison

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the spring 1986 lamb prices.

Mr. Gummer

Average market prices for lamb in March and April this year have been higher than in the corresponding weeks of previous years, partly reflecting lower supplies due to the poor weather which has delayed the growth of lambs.
