HC Deb 24 March 1980 vol 981 c439W
Mr. Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he intends to resist the application within the United Kingdom of both the increased co-responsibility levy on milk producers currently proposed by the European Economic Community Commission and any super-levy on primary buyers of milk that may be proposed by it in the future.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

We have already indicated our opposition to the Commission's present proposals on the co-responsibility levy on the grounds that these discriminate against milk producers in the United Kingdom. We will judge any future levy proposals in the same light.
