Question: What plans he has to reform the system of milk quotas. (Failed OPQ).

Answer: Mr. Alasdair Morgan: To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to reform the system of milk quotas. [7303] Dr. Jack Cunningham: Reforming the CAP dairy regime and its system of milk quotas is a high priority for the Government.
