HC Deb 10 July 1978 vol 953 c447W
Mr. Stainton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the prospects for pigmeat producers and processors in the light of the 1978 EEC Review of Farm Prices.

Mr. Bishop

The 8 per cent, cut in the monetary compensatory amounts for pigmeat which my right hon. Friend secured in the EEC price negotiations benefits all sectors of our pigmeat industry. I repeat our intention to take any opportunity to seek further changes which will improve the competitive position of our industry.
