FARMERS TO PAY IN END
Diversification scheme levy
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Nov. 26.
Farmers would pay the cost of any penalty under the lamb diversification scheme, said the Acting Minister of Agriculture (Mr Pickering) in Parliament today. He had been asked by Mr J. M. Rose (Nat., Otago Central) who would pay the 2)c diversification lew in the event of meat exporters not achieving the lamb diversification target. Mr Pickering replied that the exporters would pay this, but after a supplementary question he said that eventually, as was usual in New Zealand, the fanner would pay.
