HC Deb 07 April 1982 vol 21 c341W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will support common agricultural policy price increases on products in surplus.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The Council of Agriculture Ministers has held three meetings to discuss the Commission's price proposals for 1982–83 and on each occasion we have urged the need for prudent price increases for products in surplus.
