Suckler Cow And Sheep Quota

EDM number 495 in 1994-95, proposed by Paul Tyler on 26/01/1995.

That this House notes with concern the plight of farmers denied additional suckler cow and sheep quota because of excessively rigid rules and over-bureaucratic administration of the quota regime on the part of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food; applauds the Farmers Weekly 'Fair Deal' campaign aimed at helping these farmers; deplores Ministers' continuing refusal to use discretion and common sense in the resolution of this problem, in the manner of other EU member states; and calls upon the Government to break the quota log-jam by bringing new flexibility to the allocation regime.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
