HC Deb 04 May 1984 vol 59 cc254-5W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will give particulars of the high prices and the quantities involved under the equalisation schemes in the United States referred to in paragraph 34 of the 1983 report on the agricultural situation in the Community; and how they compare with the EEC regime for sugar.

Mr. MacGregor

After having made initial inquiries, I regret that it is now clear that this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
