HC Deb 23 November 1983 vol 49 c197W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why he has ceased paying the Aujesky's disease eradication disruption costs as from 21 November; and if as a result of this decision the levy is to be reduced.

Mrs. Fenner

The poll document sent to producers made it clear that the industry would make its own arrangements to cover compensation costs attributable to disruption. The decision to discontinue these payments is therefore a matter for the industry. There are no plans to reduce the levy.
