HC Deb 16 December 1975 vol 902 c604W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the Commission plans to make payments of direct subsidies to farmers with less than 15 cows, and publish a table showing the number of farmers thus affected within each Community country and what percentage they contribute to total national milk.

Mr. Bishop

Before making any detailed comments my right hon. Friend and I shall wish to study the proposals which the Commission has put forward in connection with the CAP price discussions for 1976–77.
