§ Mr. Prescottasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the general import levy per pound on butter and cheeses imported into the Common Market from New Zealand.

On Cheddar cheese it is 121.29 ua/100 kgs (28p per lb). Rates of levy for the Irish Republic are reduced by accession compensatory amounts. Sterling equivalents have been calculated at the United Kingdom representative rate and Community arrangements for monetary compensation apply.
