HC Deb 01 February 1993 vol 218 cc74-5W
44. Mr. Madden

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received regarding the withdrawal of the guaranteed price for wool; if he will consider the phasing out of the guaranteed price over two or three years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

I have received a number of representations on this subject. The Government have no plans to reconsider abolishing the wool guarantee on 30 April, which will implement a decision announced more than four years ago.
