HC Deb 11 March 1985 vol 75 c2W
Mr. Phillip Oppenheim

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if it remains his policy that price reductions are the best way of achieving cuts in output in agricultural produce.

Mr. MacGregor

It remains our policy that adjusting prices, linked to guarantee thresholds, is the preferred means of achieving a better balance between Community supply and demand of products for which surpluses exist.
