HC Deb 24 July 1996 vol 282 c639W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about the distortion of the market caused by the discrepancy between liveweight and deadweight arrangements under the cattle disposal scheme. [28870]

Mrs. Browning

[holding answer 10 May 1996]: We have received a number of representations about the effect on marketing patterns of the coefficient for converting payments from liveweight to a deadweight basis under this scheme. Any change to the rate is a matter for the European Commission.
