HC Deb 14 May 1993 vol 224 cc580-1W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to seek the adoption in the European Community of siphoning on transfers of milk quotas so as to provide a pool of quotas for new entrants under the age of 40 years into farming in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Curry

The Government have no plans to do so. However, we shall be looking to see whether any lessons for milk quotas may be drawn from experience in the operation of quotas in the sheep and suckler cow sectors, where arrangements for new entrants have been proposed.
