HC Deb 01 March 1993 vol 220 c50W
Rev. Ian Paisley

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give the detailed calculations for each year since the inception of the additional milk levy system setting out how the total guaranteed quantity, including Northern Ireland's share of the Community reserve, was allocated among all the United Kingdom's regions.

Mr. Curry

The allocation of quota between regions is based on the total quantity of quota awarded to individual producers in those regions. Detailed figures are set out in the table. Figures for the 1992–93 quota year will not be available until after the quota year end. Direct sales quota is not allocated between United Kingdom regions.

Mr. Curry

The Department maintains a close watch on the state of the fish market and the factors which influence it, but their relative importance varies over time and cannot be quantified precisely.
