HC Deb 29 January 1973 vol 849 c298W
Mr. Molyneaux

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what agreement he has reached with EEC Ministers about the future of the Northern Ireland Egg Subsidy; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Fenner

In the course of the meeting of the Council of Ministers of Agriculture on 22nd and 23rd January, United Kingdom Ministers confirmed that the aid to employment grants paid to egg producers in Northern Ireland would come to an end in December 1973. There has been no agreement to reduce the subsidy or to make any change in the present scheme.
