62. Mr. Wood

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what policies he is adopting at European Community price-fixing negotiations which would be of advantage to arable farmers.

Mr. Curry

We are seeking a substantial devaluation of the green pound; we are pressing for the basic cereals co-responsibility levy to be replaced by matching price cuts; and we are strongly supporting the Commission's proposals to maintain the present definition of double-low rapeseed for a further year.
