HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 c649W
Mr. Best

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will ensure that liquid milk is not imported into the United Kingdom so long as home production is sufficient to meet demand.

Mr. Wiggin

No. The provisions of the EEC Treaty do not allow imports from another member State to be restricted on the grounds advanced by my hon. Friend.

Mr. Best

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied that a sufficient proportion of the recent increase in milk prices went to the milk producers.

Mr. Wiggin

Yes, Sir.
