HC Deb 23 October 1975 vol 898 c222W
18. Mr. Jay

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the sale of subsidised EEC wine to countries outside the Common Market.

Mr. Strang

In the present state of the wine market short-term measures, such as export refunds, are necessary to relieve surpluses, but in the longer term the Government are seeking to achieve a better balance between production and utilisation.
