Tobacco (Hansard, 13 May 1992)

HC Deb 13 May 1992 vol 207 c123W 123W

§ Mr. Ron Davies
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will show the cost to(a) the EC and (b) Britain of subsidising tobacco growing within the EC in the most recent year for which figures are available.

§ Mr. Curry
The EC spent 1,330 mecu (about £927 million) on the CAP tobacco regime in 1991. As member states contribute to the EC budget as a whole, no meaningful breakdown can be made for their contributions to individual sectors of the budget.
