HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 c742W
62. Mr. Moss

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if it is his policy to continue pressing for the complete abolition of co-responsibility levies.

Mr. MacGregor

I am opposed to co-responsibility levies and shall continue to press for their abolition while respecting budgetary discipline. I am very pleased that, in the recent price settlement, following our pressure the Council has taken a step in this direction, agreeing significant cuts in the milk co-responsibility levy and its removal in less-favoured areas.
