asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what is the average mill-floor price per ton paid to date in respect of wheat of the 1954 crop.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Mill-floor Price of Wheat.
The information necessary to calculate the average mill-floor cost to date of native wheat of the 1954 crop is not available and could be obtained only by undertaking a special and expensive investigation.
On the best estimates available of the amounts to be paid for interest charges, storage rents and other expenses incidental to holding wheat in store, it is calculated that the total cost on the mill-floor of native wheat of the 1954 crop will be equivalent to an average cost of £40 16s. 0d. per ton.
