HC Deb 19 January 1984 vol 52 c324W
Mr. McQuarrie

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will resist any proposals for a policy on cereals of price equity with the United States of America and ensure the maintenance of the security of the intervention support system; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

We support the Commission's view that the gap between Community cereal prices and those of other producing countries should be narrowed. We shall continue in Community negotiations to seek to ensure that the support system for cereals properly meets the needs of the producers and users of cereals in the United Kingdom.
