HC Deb 31 January 1985 vol 72 c277W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the EEC Commission, in drawing up its proposals for agricultural prices in the light of the financial guideline, will estimate the quantity of agricultural production likely to be achieved; and if it will make at the same time proposals for preventing the total cost of agricultural support exceeding the maximum laid down in the financial guideline.

Mr. MacGregor

The Commission have yet to table its proposals for the 1985 price fixing and I cannot anticipate its judgment on how it will implement its undertaking to draw up its proposals in the light of the financial guideline.
