Milk (Eec Prices)

58.

Mr. Wiggin
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether,  in view of the fact that the EEC has proposed a 4 per cent. increase in the price of milk, the fourchette agreement prevailing before the announcement of this increase remains in force.

Mr. Godber
The terms of Regulation (EEC) No. 749/73 are not affected by the Commission's price proposals, but its application in 1974–75 is under consideration.
