§ Mr. Richard Shepherdasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the average price in 1980 in the United Kingdom of foodstuffs covered by European Economic Community arrangements; what was the average world price in 1980 of the same foodstuffs; and what is the percentage difference between the two figures.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithIt is impossible to give a detailed reply because, for many commodities world prices are not available on a basis comparable to that on which average United Kingdom market prices are collected. I have nothing to add to the reply I gave my hon. Friend on 20 December 1979.
