HC Deb 04 July 1988 vol 136 c466W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Southend, East of 27 June, if he will publish a list of the price cuts agreed at the recent Council meeting which were agreed to ensure that the guidelines of the European Council will be adhered to; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

[holding answer 30 June 1988]: The price package includes a cut of 5.2 per cent. in the durum wheat intervention price as well as reductions in monthly increments for cereals rice and oilseeds. In addition, weakening of arrangements for beef intervention is estimated to be equivalent to a 4 to 5 per cent. price cut.
