§ 28. Mr. Knoxasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many representations he has received against the European Economic Community co-responsibility levy on milk producers.
§ Mr. Buchanan-SmithIn recent months, my right hon. Friend and I have received 22 letters requesting suspension or abolition of the co-responsibility levy. We have said in reply that we also dislike the present flat rate levy and are seeking to persuade our colleagues in the Council of Ministers to adopt alternative measures which bear more directly on those producers responsible for the milk surplus.
