HC Deb 31 January 1985 vol 72 c277W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what parts of EEC expenditure on agriculture do not come under the heading of market support expenditure; and what are the annual amounts spent on them.

Mr. MacGregor

In addition to expenditure on market support from the guarantee Section of the European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund, payments for structural measures are made from the guidance section of the fund. There are also certain other items of agricultural expenditure such as Community contributions to animal health measures and agricultural research. Expenditure in 1984 is provisionally estimated at 650 mecu from the guidance section and 70 mecu for the other agricultural measures.
