HC Deb 19 November 1973 vol 864 c318W
Miss Quennell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to relieve British dairy farmers from the effects of EEC Regulation No. 749/73, whereby increases to United Kingdom producers are limited to 1.6p per gallon per year.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

The question of what action should be taken to assist dairy farmers will be considered at the annual review and I cannot anticipate the results of that review or the determinations to be made thereafter. The calculations which fall to be made under Regulation 749/73 will shortly be discussed with the Commission of the EEC.
