§ 37. Mr. Knoxasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many representations he has received in favour of the milk co-responsibility levy.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe interests involved in this country are unanimous in their opposition to the levy and have therefore welcomed the reduction in the rate of levy which I secured at the last common agricultural policy price fixing. In future discussions in the Council, I shall continue to argue for the replacement of the levy by fairer and more effective measures to tackle the milk surplus.
