§ Miss Emma Nicholson
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to seek a reduction in, or removal of, the EC co-responsibility levy on milk.

§ Mr. Curry
The Government have always opposed the co-responsibility levy and will continue to press for its abolition provided that the cost is offset by price cuts on a sufficient scale.

§ Dr. David Clark
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether there is a minimum retail price per pint for the sale of liquid milk to the consumer.

§ Mr. Gummer
No. Statutory controls over the retail price of milk ceased with effect from 1 January 1985.
