HC Deb 16 November 1978 vol 958 c340W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what assessment he has made of the likelihood of a fundamental reform of the common agricultural policy in the context of the proposed European monetary system.

Mr. John Silkin

A scheme for stabilising all EEC currencies would not solve the fundamental problem of surplus production in the EEC due to excessive common support prices.
