European Community (Expenditure)

Mr. Teddy Taylor
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was the percentage of total European Economic Community spending which was devoted to agriculture; what was the percentage of total European Economic Community spending devoted to the storage or disposal of food surpluses, respectively, in each of the years from 1973 to 1984, respectively; and what estimate he has made of the comparable percentage figures in 1985.

Mr. Jopling
I shall reply to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
