HC Deb 19 June 1980 vol 986 c647W
22. Mr Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what will be the net loss per cow to the British dairy farmer as a result of the co-responsibility levy.

Mr. Peter Walker

The increase in co-responsibility levy will reduce British dairy farmers' returns by about £10 per cow on average, but dairy farmers will have benefited from three green pound devaluations and two increases in the retail price of liquid milk.
