Mr. Teddy Taylor
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what provision has been made in the 1991 EEC budget for the dumping and destruction of surplus food and wine.
Mr. Curry
[pursuant to his reply, 15 October 1990, c. 764]: Revision to the sterling-ecu exchange has caused some amendments to the figures originally given in reply to this question.
The 1991 European Community draft budget provides for 854 million ecu (£595 million) of expenditure on the withdrawal of agricultural produce, not all of which is destroyed.
