HC Deb 07 March 1983 vol 38 c295W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the European Community index of producer prices of agricultural products directly reflects the prices agreed by the Council at the annual price fixing.

Mr. Peter Walker

The index of producer prices of agricultural products is a measure of the prices, including subsidies and taxes—for example, milk co-responsibility levy — where applicable, received by producers for agricultural products. Such prices are influenced by many factors, including the prices agreed by the Council of Ministers.
