HC Deb 22 February 1973 vol 851 cc154-5W
Sir P. Bryan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that the heavy import of egg products from co-operating countries during December and January have conformed with the minimum import price arrangements then in force; whether the marketing boards of the countries concerned received the full minimum prices from the United Kingdom importers; and whether these products are entitled to be in free circulation under the EEC common customs tariff.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

From enquiries I have made I am satisfied that these imports were made in compliance with the minimum import price arrangements then in force and that the importers paid the full minimum import price. United Kingdom customs liabilities having been discharged, these imports are free to circulate in the enlarged Community, subject to payment of the appropriate compensatory amount.
