§ Sir Peter Millsasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what will be the reduction of New Zealand butter imports to the United Kingdom in 1983; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MacGregorThe New Zealand butter import quota for 1983 is fixed at 87,000 tonnes. This is 5,000 tonnes less than the quota fixed for 1982, but the Council of Ministers made a reduction in the import levy to offset the effect of this lower figure on the returns to New Zealand producers.
