HC Deb 13 May 1986 vol 97 c396W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Prime Minister if she will raise at the next meeting of the European Council the failure of the Common Market Commission to provide to the Council monthly reports on the trend of agricultural spending as provided by the Council agreement of 4 December 1984; and if she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

I would not expect this issue to be discussed at the European Council. The Commission regularly informs the member states on the trend in agricultural spending, but we will continue to press the Commission to provide information in the appropriate forum in accordance with its undertakings in the budget discipline agreement.
