HC Deb 14 July 1982 vol 27 cc388-9W
Sir Peter Mills

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will review the effects on the dairy industry arising from the substantial increase in production of vegetable oils being produced and exported from Malaysia and the United States of America; if he will take steps to protect the home dairy producer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The dairy industry is protected by the Community's milk regime and I do not believe that it is necessary or right to supplement this by providing additional protection against imports of vegetable oils.
