HC Deb 30 October 1996 vol 284 c148W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will implement a temporary guaranteed price system to restore confidence in the beef industry in Wales. [25]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

The Government have committed £2.5 billion to various measures to support the beef industry. We have no plans to introduce a price guarantee which would do nothing to support the industry in the medium to longer term.
