Sheep (Hansard, 21 November 1983)

§ 25. Mr. D. E. Thomas
asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total spending in Wales on the annual ewe premium and the variable slaughter premium on sheepmeat for the latest year for which figures are available.

§ Mr. Nicholas Edwards
In the 1982–83 marketing year, payments to producers in Wales amounted to £10.3 million on the annual ewe premium, and £25.3 million on the sheep variable premium.

§ Mr. D. E. Thomas
asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the amount of reduction in the annual ewe premium paid in Wales if the premium were to be based on the difference between the reference price and the average market price, multiplied by a coefficient reflecting the average weight of lamb produced from each ewe in five regions making up the European Community sheepmeat régime as proposed by the European Community Commission.

§ Mr. Nicholas Edwards
I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply I gave him on 18 November 1983—[Vol. 48, c.593]

§ Mr. D. E. Thomas
asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the average amount of reduction in the weekly variable slaughter premium for sheepmeat paid in Wales if European Commission proposals for a ceiling of 25 per cent. of the guide price were to be implemented, taking the latest year for which figures are available as a base.
