Mr. Gould

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether the cost of 170 additions of account to the Community's 1976 budget of the proposal to incorporate skimmed milk powder into animal foodstuffs takes any account of the costs borne by those farmers who have to pay for uneconomic foodstuffs.
