HC Deb 29 October 1984 vol 65 c859W
Mr. Nicholson

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many applications were received for the milk outgoers' scheme in England and Wales; what percentage of quota has been offered for sale; and what percentage of quota he is proposing to buy.

Mr. MacGregor

Some 4,826 producers in England and Wales expressed an interest in becoming outgoers and the 1,186 million litres which they offered to surrender accounts for almost 9¼ per cent. of the total quota for England and Wales. The aim of the Scheme is to take in 2¼ per cent. of quota.
