HC Deb 08 November 1982 vol 31 cc60-1W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the European Economic Community has now agreed on the level of butter imports from New Zealand in 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

Agreement on an import quota for New Zealand butter in 1983 of 87,000 tonnes was reached at the Agriculture Council meeting in Luxembourg on 18-19 October. I expect the necessary regulation to be formally adopted shortly.
