HC Deb 04 November 1976 vol 918 c669W
21. Mr. Marten

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food by what percentage the price of Common Market butter, skimmed milk powder, beef and wheat is above world prices.

Mr. Bishop

There is no readily identifiable world price, with which a comparison could be made, for butter, skimmed milk powder and beef. In September 1976 the price of our supplies of soft wheat from the Community, based on the average unit value of our imports, was about 9 per cent. below that of our supplies from third countries.
