Sir Peter Mills
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will announce the 1985–86 target price scale for the beef variable premium scheme.
Mr. MacGregor
I am sure that hon. Members on all sides of the House have welcomed my right hon. Friend's achievement in securing agreement in the Council of Ministers on the continuation of the beef variable premium scheme for the 1985–86 marketing year. After long and hard negotiations, the premium has been kept on unchanged terms and conditions. The target price scale for 1985–86 will be as follows:
