asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will give comparative prices for wheat in 1951, and indicate what price is to be paid in 1952.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Wheat Prices.
Mr. Walsh
For millable wheat of the 1951 harvest bushelling 57 lb. but less than 60 lb., the standard price is 67/6 per barrel. For wheat bushelling 60 lb. or over, a bonus of 2/6 per barrel is payable and for millable wheat bushelling less than 57 lb., a deduction of 2/6 per barrel is made.
For millable wheat of the 1952 crop, the corresponding standard price is 75/- per barrel with a bonus or deduction of 2/6 per barrel on the same basis as in 1951.
