HC Deb 22 December 1982 vol 34 c563W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, in view of the high cost of transport to islands and remote rural areas and their consequent inability to benefit from imports of cheap European Economic Community butter, if he will take steps to rectify this situation.

Mr. Peter Walker

It is for the trade itself to arrange the sale and distribution to retailers of butter benefiting from the special Community subsidy. I am sure it will endeavour to be fair in supplying all its customers.
