§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he intends to take to assist those dairy farmers affected by the decision to make a 3 per cent. cut in milk quotas over the next three years.
§ Mr. Gummer[pursuant to his reply, 15 May 1986, c. 535]: The 3 per cent. cut in milk quotas will be achieved 73W as far as possible through the Community milk outgoers scheme. I am consulting industry organisations with a view to ensuring that we operate this scheme in the most effective possible way.
