HC Deb 07 November 1974 vol 880 c188W
25. Mr. Sillars

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what discussions he has had with EEC counterparts on the need for the Common Market to adopt an agricultural support system based upon a scheme of deficiency payments.

Mr. Bishop

We have proposed the introduction of variable marketing premia for beef and we shall press strongly for these to be included in the new beef régime.
