HC Deb 22 July 1976 vol 915 cc553-4W
Mr. Body

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he proposes to take to prevent the EEC imposing an import levy on vegetable and fish oils imported into the United Kingdom.

Mr. Bishop

This is one of a series of Commission proposals due for further consideration in the autumn aimed at restoring balance in the milk sector, but my right hon. Friend has already made it clear in the Council of Ministers that we are opposed to measures which are inflationary or distort trade in non-dairy products.
