HC Deb 12 February 1976 vol 905 c296W
Mr. Ronald Atkins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he will take following the smuggling of butter and cheese into the Channel Islands; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Strang

When foods which have benefited from United Kingdom consumer subsidies are exported to any destination, including the Channel Islands, the subsidy is repayable. Action is taken to secure recovery of subsidy in any case where it appears repayment did not take place at the time of export.
