HC Deb 30 March 1976 vol 908 cc465-6W
Mr. Welsh

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the percentage and amount of canned beef in the EEC intervention beef stockpile in proportion to the whole; what is the percentage

his policy to use the storage levy /rebate scheme for sugar proposed by the European Commission, although possibly suitable for beet sugar, for cane sugar; whether he intends to seek exemption for cane sugar imported from the Lomé Convention countries; and what estimate he has made of the contribution which United Kingdom imports of cane sugar would make to the fund.

Mr. Bishop

This is one of the matters which my right hon. Friend will shortly be discussing with his colleagues in the Council of Ministers and I am unable to anticipate the outcome of those discussions.
