HC Deb 20 November 1985 vol 87 c223W
Mr. Baldry

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proposals Her Majesty's Government are making to reform the common agricultural policy.

Mr. Jopling

We shall continue to press for a more market-oriented price policy as a central feature of measures to improve the CAP. This is the best way of containing the costs of the CAP and of attaining a better market balance of supply and demand. At the same time we shall press for application of the financial guideline for agriculture. We shall also insist that Community measures do not discriminate unfairly against the United Kingdom.
