HC Deb 18 May 1988 vol 133 c473W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether it remains his intention, as stated in the House on 7 June 1984,Official Report, column 430, and 5 July 1981, Official Report, column 452, that imports of New Zealand butter shall not be taken into account by the EEC in determining the United Kingdom's milk production quota.

Mr. Donald Thompson

National reference quantities were based on delivery and sales levels in member states and took no account of imports. That remains the position. 1 am not aware of any proposals to change this basis.
