§ Mr. Austin Mitchellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the United Kingdom share of total European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund expenditure in 1983 and 1984; and what is his forecast for 1985.
§ Mr. JoplingI have been asked to reply.
The United Kingdom's share of European agricultural guidance and guarantee fund expenditure in 1983 and 1984 was about 11 per cent. and 12 per cent., respectively. For 1985 the Community budget has not yet been adopted and it is not possible to predict the United Kingdom's share of expenditure.
