HC Deb 10 April 1975 vol 889 c480W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the various foodstuffs on which levies are now charged in consequence of Great Britain's obligations under the Common Market agricultural policy; and what are the amounts of such levies in each case.

Mr. Bishop

The principal foodstuffs on which levies are currently charged on entry to the United Kingdom are butter, cheese and bacon. A few less significant imported items, such as canned pigmeat, egg products, and certain kinds of rice also bear a levy. Information about rates of levy is published by the Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce from which details can be obtained.
