HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 c559W
29. Mr. Knox

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he intends to have further discussions with the Council of Ministers about the milk co-responsibility levy.

Mr. MacGregor

The Commission proposals on cutting dairy sector expenditure do not include any change to the co-responsibility levy. We will continue to make it clear that we are opposed to the application of the co-responsibility levy, which has not proved an effective way of tackling the milk surplus.
