§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make it his policy to pay the maximum permitted levels of national supplements to the suckler cow premium.
§ Mr. CurryNo. As a result of common agricultural policy reform, premium rates for both suckler cows and male beef animals will rise significantly between now and 1995. In view of this, we have decided that for 1993 onwards, we should pay the EC-funded rate.
