HC Deb 12 June 1986 vol 99 c285W
46. Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what recent representations he has received about the future of the beef variable premium scheme.

Mr. Jopling

Ministers and officials of the Agriculture Departments are in frequent contact with all sectors of the livestock and meat industries. Our success in securing the continuation of the beef variable premium at this year's CAP price fixing has been generally welcomed.
