Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what has been the overall level of subsidy for each of the main agricultural commodities for each of the last 15 years both in cash terms and at constant prices.

Mr. Jopling

Details of expenditure in the United Kingdom on agricultural commodities are given in the White Papers on the Annual Review of Agriculture, the last White Paper (Cmnd. 8804) covering expenditure in the period 1978–79 to 1982–83. The information is given in cash terms and is not readily available at constant prices.
