asked the Minister for Agriculture whether farmers supplying liquid milk in the Cork and Dublin Milk Board areas will enjoy a net increase in remuneration of twopence per gallon from 1st May, 1964; and whether this increase will take account of any increase in collection charges.

I am increasing by 2d. per gallon as from 1st May, 1964, the statutory minimum prices payable to registered producers for milk sold to registered wholesalers and retailers in the Sales Districts of the Dublin and the Cork District Milk Boards. This increase in the producers' minimum prices will not be affected by any variation in the purchasers' collection costs.
