HC Deb 11 November 1980 vol 992 c103W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps are taken to inform non-profit-making bodies in the United Kingdom of the availability of free fruit, vegetables and fish in times of glut arising in the operation of the common agricultural policy of the European Community.

Mr. Peter Walker

Producer organisations seeking to withdraw produce from the market under the scheme are encouraged to offer it to local non-profit-making bodies and are supplied with lists of such bodies.
