Common Agricultural Policy (Hansard, 13 February 1992)

HC Deb 13 February 1992 vol 203 c619W 619W

§ Dr. David Clark
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give the amount in pounds sterling spent on the common agricultural policy in 1991; what are the current forecasts of expenditure for 1992, 1993 and 1994; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Gummer
The amount spent on the common agricultural policy in 1991 was £24,105 million¹. The common agricultural policy budget for 1992 is £27,836 million¹—which includes £697 million¹ for the monetary reserve. It is not normal practice to forecast anticipated expenditure for subsequent years, which depend on decisions yet to be taken.
