HC Deb 13 May 1985 vol 79 c40W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the Government's policy concerning price increases under the Common Agricultural Policy for products which are in structural surplus.

Mr. Jopling

The Government's objective is to maintain a restrictive pricing policy through the application of guarantee thresholds for products in or likely to be in surplus or on which expenditure is rising rapidly.
