HC Deb 19 March 1981 vol 1 c156W
49. Mr. Strang

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate he has made of the additional annual cost to the European Economic Community of the Commission's 1981 agricultural price proposals.

Mr. Peter Walker

The Commission's latest estimate is that its 1981 agricultural price proposals will add 844 million ECU—£530 million—to FEOGA guarantee expenditure in a full year, while increasing the levies collected as own resources by 321 million ECU—£200 million.
