HC Deb 17 October 1991 vol 196 c245W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what evaluation he has made of the scheme for a fixed redeemable bond for the dairy sector as proposed by the European Commission; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

The Commission's proposal to compen-sate producers for the surrender of milk quota by means of a transferable bond has not been sufficiently developed to allow an evaluation of its practical implications.
