§ Mr. Austin MitchellTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is his estimate of the effect on output of wheat, rapeseed and other commodities in surplus of the measures which the German Government have said they will introduce to cushion the effect of the decisions taken by the EEC at the meeting of the Council of Ministers and whether he expects other countries are likely to take similar measures.
§ Mr. MacGregorI assume the hon. Member refers to set-aside. It is not possible to predict its effect on output, as this will depend on the uptake of the scheme in the individual member states.
