HC Deb 15 March 1974 vol 870 c6W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what his policy will be at the next meeting of the Common Market Council of Ministers on the monetary compensatory amounts which subsidise Danish pigmeat producers competing in the British national market.

Mr Peart

This is an aspect of the overall situation facing United Kingdom pig producers. I am urgently examining this situation and the line I adopt at the forthcoming Council of Ministers will take into account the interest of both producers and consumers in this country.
