§ 51. Mr. Dykesasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he is satisfied with the prospects for a restrained increase in common agricultural policy prices in the forthcoming review by the European Community Agriculture Ministers.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe Commission has proposed price increases for 1983–84 which are well below the projected rate of inflation for the Community. The British Government have expressed the view that this is a time for greater price restraint, particularly for products in surplus, but the majority of other member states are seeking higher increases.
