While we are discussing levies, may I suggest how to restore confidence to livestock farmers and prevent the fear of a repetition of what happened this year to feeding stuff prices? Will my right hon. Friend consider announcing now or in the near future that, if cereal prices rise as sharply next year, he will consider putting a levy on the sale of cereals in order to keep down the price of feeding stuffs and thus establish a fund for that purpose?
