HC Deb 15 January 1976 vol 903 cc212-3W
Mr. Jay

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the present price of a standard type of cheese in £ sterling per ton from New Zealand landed in the United Kingdom before levy and the corresponding intervention price in the rest of the EEC.

Mr. Bishop

The cif price of cheddar cheese imported into the United Kingdom from New Zealand under the special arrangements laid down in Protocol 18 in the Act of Accession is £535.46 per long ton. In addition, monetary compensatory amounts, currently £34.27 per ton, are paid to New Zealand in respect of cheese imported into the United Kingdom under the terms of the Protocol. There are no intervention arrangements for cheddar cheese under the Community system.
