HC Deb 01 March 1990 vol 168 c315W
Mr. Amess

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement on the distribution of the additional milk quota.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food announced on 13 February that he had submitted to the European Commission for approval the United Kingdom proposals for the allocation of the extra 1 per cent. quota.

The proposals include allocation to new entrants; to small producers; to producers in remote areas; and to producers whose tribunal awards had not been granted in full because insufficient quota was available.
