§ Mr. ColvinTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to obtain agreement with the United Kingdom's European partners for the extension of the £27 beef premium to include heifers and to apply to herds in excess of 90 head.
§ Mr. GummerI see no prospect of being able to negotiate the inclusion of heifers in the beef special premium scheme. The United Kingdom voted against the imposition of a headage limit and I continue to regard it as discriminatory.
