§ Mr. Teddy Taylorasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if any statistics are available which show the percentage increases which have occurred in the cost of those foodstuffs which are, and are not, subject to the controls and price mechanisms of the common agricultural policy since 1973 and since 1979, respectively; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacGregorSince the impact of the common agricultural policy varies considerably between different foodstuffs, it is not possible to make the clear distinction between foodstuffs which would be required for the provision of such statistics.
