Mr. Craigen
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on the proposal by DS VI of the European Commission to introduce a tax on oils and fats; and what is his estimate of the likely increase in consumer costs on food and drink if the proposal is approved.
Mr. Gummer
I shall reply to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
