Sir Teddy Taylor

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how much the EC plans to spend in the current financial year on its agricultural policy; and by what percentage this has changed over the past five and 10 years.

Mr. Jack

Expenditure on agricultural support in the United Kingdom in the current financial year—1993–94 —is estimated at £3,011 million. This represents increases of 118 per cent. and 74 per cent. over expenditure in the 1988–89 and 1983–84 financial years respectively. Of this, £2,727 million represents the estimated expenditure on the CAP in the United Kingdom.
