§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware that Part 34, Pig Meat Regulation 224/72/EEC of 31st January, 1972, was published in English translation and made available to Members of Parliament on 27th May, 1972; and whether he will explain how and in what way this will affect those engaged in this industry and the British consumer.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartYes. The Regulation amends the markets which are used in the Federal Republic of Germany to arrive at the average market price. This adaptation will not significantly affect United Kingdom interests after accession, when our prices will also of course be taken into account in operating the pig-meat régime.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he is aware that Part 32, Milk and Milk Products Regulation 2864/71/EEC of 30th December, 1971, was published in English translation and made available to Members of Parliament on 27th May, 1972; and whether he will explain how and in what way this will affect those engaged in this industry and the British consumer.
§ Mr. Anthony StodartYes. This Regulation provides for levies on imports of liquid milk from third countries to be derived from the general levies on imports of butter and skimmed milk powder. Its effect is likely to be small, as hardly any such trade takes place.
