Part of the debate – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 20 Rhagfyr 1973.
My hon. Friend the Member for Skipton (Mr. Drayson) was very worried about the position of the small dairy farmer and small beef producer, and about the premature sale of cattle. The livestock farmers are at present going through a difficult period. They are having to meet vast increases in the price of feedingstuffs, and the price of beef and of milk has not risen to compensate them for that. As my right hon. Friend has said, he will bring forward the date of the Price Review in order to help out as soon as he possibly can.
