HC Deb 23 November 1973 vol 864 c535W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture Fisheries and Food what is the estimated United Kingdom percentage share of the total revenue that would be raised by Commissioner Lardinois' proposed milk tax of 2 per cent. on certain levels of output.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

Our provisional assessment of the Commission's proposals in their present form is that United Kingdom deliveries to dairies could represent some 20 to 25 per cent. of all deliveries by Community producers beyond the proposed levy-free quota of 10,000 litres.
