Question
My Lords, is the Minister aware that, in the European Union, Britain is not atypical in subsidising each cow by £900 per annum? Is he further aware that in the two countries outside the EU that are much vaunted by Eurosceptics outside—that is, Switzerland and Norway—each cow is subsidised by £9,000 per annum?
Answer
My Lords, I am not entirely sure what the question was, but we think that competitiveness is extremely important in this market.
