HC Deb 30 October 1980 vol 991 c362W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if, in any year since the United Kingdom joined the EEC, his Department failed to take up any portion of the Community funds that were available as a part of any allocation scheme between member States; and whether there was any category of funds for which the United Kingdom could have applied but did not.

Mr. Peter Walker

It has been the policy of this Government to claim from the Community all the receipts to which we are entitled.
