Milk (Hansard, 14 December 1995)

§ 2. Mr. Bryan Davies
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much money the United Kingdom will receive from the EU to help pay for milk in secondary schools and milk in school catering in 1995–96. [4128]

§ Mr. Douglas Hogg
We estimate that EU expenditure on the discretionary elements of the school milk scheme will amount to approximately £6.1 million in the United Kingdom in 1995£96. Doing away with the discretionary element will result in public expenditure savings of about £4 million.

§ 17. Mr. Khabra
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what will be the cost to the EU of the common agricultural policy milk and milk products regime in 1995. [4145]

§ Mr. Baldry
The provisional outturn for the cost of the EU diary regime in the 1995 FEOGA year is 4 billion ecu.

§ Dr. Strang
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make publicly available the submission by the United Kingdom to the European Commission requesting a derogation allowing the United Kingdom to continue to use EU aid for milk used in the preparation of school meals; and if he will place a copy of the submission in the Library.[3382]

§ Mr. Hogg
[holding answer 30 November 1995]: I am arranging for a copy of the document to be placed in the Library of the House.
