HC Deb 10 April 1989 vol 150 c359W
78. Ms. Mowlam

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the United Kingdom Government will support proposals to maintain the price of sugar imported under the sugar protocol from African, Caribbean and Pacific states; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

The guaranteed price paid to the ACP for imports of sugar under the Lomé sugar protocol is related to the level of support prices for EC-produced sugar. The latter are set annually as part of the CAP price fixing exercise. Discussions are continuing in Brussels on this year's prices.
