31. Mr. Livsey

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the current value of the green pound.

Mr. Gummer

The current level of the real monetary gaps, which represent the difference between green and market exchange rates of the pound, range from—9.566 for pigmeat to— 17.990 for sheepmeat.

68. Mrs. Currie

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to remove any discrepancy in the value of the green pound.

Mr. Gummer

As I have made clear to the House, I am seeking a substantial devaluation of the green pound in the current negotiations on the Commission's 1990 price proposals.
