HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 c761W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the collection, distribution and use of the coresponsibility levy through the EEC.

Mr. Bishop

All member States of the EEC have assured the European Commission that the coresponsibility levy is being applied in their countries. We do not regard all the purposes on which the levy is to be spent as being equally effective or appropriate, but the allocation and use of the levy receipts are matters for which the European Commission is responsible.
