HC Deb 28 November 1988 vol 142 c100W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what decision has been made by the Council of Ministers on New Zealand butter access; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

Since United Kingdom accession the Council has on a number of occasions decided upon the level of New Zealand butter imports at a reduced rate of levy. The current arrangement expires at the end of this year and the Council has not yet decided what should succeed it.
