HC Deb 12 January 1976 vol 903 cc39-40W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (1) what would be the effect of draft EEC Regulations R/1793/72 and R/2575/74 on the cost of a loaf of bread;

  1. (2) what would be the effect of draft EEC Regulations R/1793/72 and R/2575/74 on grocery products;
  2. (3) what would be the cost effect of draft EEC Regulations R/1793/72 and R/2575/74 on the milk industry.

Mr. Bishop

The precise effect cannot be estimated, though it would be very slight. In any event I understand from my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport that the draft regulations are likely to be substantially amended during their progress through the Community's legislative machinery.
