Former MP for St Ives
I am much obliged. I quite agree with what the hon. Gentleman says about these charges, but what we have to contend with is the imports of broccoli from Italy. I have worked it out, and it is quite clear that these imports are subsidised, especially in regard to their transport, otherwise they could not be paid for. We in this country, of course, do not do that.

Does this mean that the right hon. Gentleman's Department will now be responsible for the publication of the survey that is being made about non-ferrous metals in this country?

I agree with what the hon. Gentleman is saying, but who will pay for this?
The hon. Gentleman did not reply to one or two points I made. I take no exception to that, because it may be difficult to reply to them now, but I would like to know some time, how it is intended that the coastal paths, which we all desire to see, are to be paid for. I am really wondering whether the county councils, which have so many charges put upon them nowadays, will have to pay for...
