HC Deb 10 February 1983 vol 36 c432W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of the EC's special aid to small milk producers goes to British producers; and what percentage of EC milk is produced in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The United Kingdom received 5.8 per cent. of the 120 MECU provided by the Community in 1982–83 as aid to small milk producers. In 1981, the latest year for which figures are available, United Kingdom milk production was about 15 per cent. of the Community total.
