HC Deb 20 June 1979 vol 968 c604W
Mr. Peter Fraser

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what action he proposes to remove the threat of discrimination against dairy herds in Scotland, which are significantly larger than the EEC average herd size, implicit in the co-responsibility levy presently proposed by the Commission.

Mr. Wiggin

My right hon. Friend has made it clear to the Council of Ministers that the Government stand by the commitment in their election manifesto to resist discriminatory proposals such as those which the Commission has put forward on the co-responsibility levy.
