Lords motion to consider. Agreed to on question.

My Lords, I declare my farming interests as set out in the register.
These instruments are closely related as they apply to regulations relating to the common agricultural policy, or CAP. I emphasise that these instruments are minor and technical in nature. They do not make new policy or change existing...

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his introduction to this group of statutory instruments and for his time in the briefing. The first instrument, as he said, relates to agricultural payments and is very much a tidying-up process. As the Explanatory Memorandum states, it was first debated in the...

My Lords, I thank the Minister for his introduction and the helpful briefing that he organised beforehand. When we agreed to take all these SIs in one go, I do not think I realised just what a complicated task we were setting ourselves, because there is an enormous amount of...

My Lords, I thank the noble Baronesses for their contributions and important questions on some of these matters. I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Jones of Whitchurch, that although the regulations are detailed they are intended, as I have explained, not to change policy but to ensure that there...

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the quantity of products they have bought under the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy; and how they plan to manage those products following Brexit.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the quantity of products they have bought under the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy; and how they plan to manage those products following Brexit.
The Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) public intervention system allows operators to request that a Member State buys certain agricultural products such as skimmed milk powder (SMP) into public storage. Such stocks are subsequently resold when market prices recover. With the greater market orientation of the CAP, public intervention now operates as a safety net measure that is only relevant when prices are very low, as occurred during the “milk crisis” of 2015/16 when large quantities of SMP were bought into public intervention in the EU.
As at 22 February 2018, the UK held 7,731.85 tonnes of skimmed milk powder in public intervention stores, equivalent to around 2% of total EU purchases. The European Commission is currently reselling the older public stocks of skimmed milk powder back onto the domestic market. The pace of these sales will depend on a number of factors, including the market price, the competitiveness of the bids and the quantities bid for.
Looking forward, it is still to be determined what will happen to any intervention stocks held by the UK that remain unsold once we leave the EU. This will be subject to discussions as part of the withdrawal agreement and on any implementation period.
There are no other products held in public storage in the UK under CAP measures.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the value of the UK's powdered milk stockpile; what other products they are stockpiling under the Common Agricultural Policy; and in what quantity and value; and what they expect to be the final destination and selling price of the stockpiled products.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) public intervention system allows operators to request that a Member State buys certain agricultural products such as Skimmed Milk Powder (SMP) into public storage. Such stocks are subsequently resold when market prices recover. With the greater market orientation of the CAP, public intervention now operates as a safety net measure that is only relevant when prices are very low, as occurred during the “milk crisis” of 2015/16 when large quantities of SMP were bought into public intervention in the EU.
As at 22 February 2018, the UK held 7,731.85 tonnes of SMP in public intervention stores, equivalent to around 2% of total EU purchases. Based on the intervention price of €1,698.00 per tonne, the total cost of purchasing these stocks would have been €13,128,681.30 (£11,678,155.88 using the 2/1/2018 European Central Bank exchange rate).
The European Commission has arrangements in place to sell a certain quantity of the older stock of SMP back onto the domestic market by means of a tendering procedure. The ability to sell the stocks and the price realised depends on a number of factors including the market price, the competitiveness of the bids and the quantities bid for. Sales of EU SMP stocks in February achieved a minimum price of €1100 per tonne.
There are no other products held in public storage in the UK under CAP measures.
