24. Mr. Colin Shepherd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the present value of the green pound in comparison with the £ sterling.

Mr. Peter Walker

The green rate used for the conversion of amounts fixed in ECU in the agricultural sector is currently 9.1 per cent. lower than the market rate for sterling used for the calculation of monetary compensatory amounts.
