HC Deb 11 March 1986 vol 93 c436W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will resist any proposals in the European Economic Community Agriculture Council on farm prices which would breach the strict budgetary controls on spending agreed at the Dublin summit.

Mr. Jopling

I have made it clear to the Council that the Government oppose the Commission's proposals for the 1986–87 price fixing because among other things they would breach the reference framework for 1986 as presently calculated.
