asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will give the basis on which he fixes the prices payable to farmers for (a) wheat; (b) barley, and (c) oats; and further, if he will give an assurance that, in calculating these prices, due allowance is made for the cost, to farmers, of production of these crops, including an allowance for rent, rates, annuities, and other such necessary expenditure.

I do not think I can say any more in reply to this question than what I told Deputy Hughes last Thursday in reply to a similar inquiry.
